The Place Where I Am Breathing Now Poem by nimal dunuhinga
The Place Where I Am Breathing Now
My dear friends, I told you several times
That I was born under a travel star.
Yes, still I believe the life is a journey.
Wife & myself we said 'Good bye to Massachusetts'
And we landed here in California five minutes drive to Los Angeles Airport.
It's really a congested area but I love the surrounding
As the migrants who touch the soil
And I hear their heart beat well.
The Oak street elementary school stands just opposite to our place
And I would like to to start my lost education from the beginning here
The meaning of life.
Oh! I found the coin laundry near by
Where I can wash my dirty linen as same as old sins well.
* I dedicate this poem to our cousin sister & brother 'Anoma & Athula' who provide us the shelter in our displacement.
Praise for your poem letter. I hope that you and your wife will feel at home in California. Take care. Your friend at poemhunter, Sandra

A letter written with a heart that has lightened somewhat from a few months ago. For that I am happy and glad too about the children nearby in the school - and the 'the coin laundry near by where I can wash my dirty linen as same as old sins well.' Again, your sense of humour beings such life to your work. Your daughter Tharindu tells me she is very proud of her father and his fine poetry. She misses you lots. love, Allie xxxx
