Restless Soul Poem by Elena Sandu

Restless Soul

Rating: 5.0


Have not forgot my native tongue:
Lucky me! !
But chance to use it,
almost none.

(them) OH!
~Dancing feet
on life's floor
Who's the lucky one of all? ! ~

Fairly ok
Are friends and family:
Yeey! ! Lucky me! !
But all I see or hear of them
only few words
..rarely.

(them) OH!
Dancing feet
on Life's floor
who's the lucky one of all?

I live safely, an 'ok' life
Whoow! Lucky me!
But I am not quite happy
nor very glad.

(them) OH!
Dancing feet
on life's floor
who's the lucky one of all?

Lately
I hear the call:
Lucky me! !
'-Get off this life or
Start to change your world! !

Them: OH!

Now, your turn to answer,
please do tell:
Who's the lucky one of all? ?

Running away they say:
-Me!
-me!
-me!
-me! ! !

A beautiful poem with a fantastic rhythm, sounds like a song. Missing the familiar sounds of our native tongue. Missing our family and friends of old. And yet, Elena I count myself lucky to be in this far away land. Working abroad we go through a million of challenges, but then, the new horizons, the experiences rich in surprises somehow make it special. I myself enjoy very much to skype with my family. I truly regret that skype and internet was not as it is today when my mom was still alive. I pray for your peace of mind and wish you all the best. Form Hans, your friend from Belgium, working in Malaysia for more than 20 y.
