Exile

Exile.
Sent forth from your home, reaching out with all your life, missing, hurting.
Living in a strange place, constriction, restriction.
Struggling for normalcy, fighting for peace.
Sensible. ?
Throbbing pain, wishing I was home.
Home is where the heart is, the place I long to be.
Normalcy. ?
Love, laugh, live, learn.
Breathe the clear air, raise your arms in joy!
No more.
Exile. So close.
When will it end?
Gates of heaven- break them down!
Storm the palace, demand home.
Demand a rescue, call for return.
Throbbing pain, a loss for words.
Silent crying, hot nights.
Long for peace, a holy city for life.
