The world seems unfamiliar
In the midst of it all
There is something not right
My world is not your world
Your world is not mine
Silence comes around me
The universe bring forth what it may
It shows me the way
It brings into my world what is needed
Sometimes I do not understand
But more and more I am seeing it
As it is and what it is for
My world is different than yours
I live in a place of unusual signs
I choose to see them
I stop and listen
This is my choice
Something I overlooked or did not see
Many years past and I just let them go
The vision I have in this universe
it is ever changing
It is not familiar but yet it is
I move quietly through
Trusting and understanding
Sometimes it is a leap of faith
But then it becomes very familiar
Like a story I heard once before
A past life?
A past character in a novel?
A past love?
I do not dismiss it anymore
I see it for what it is
I do not dismiss the possibility
The hope for peace and calm remains
A community is being built
I do not have to seek it
It is finding me
I am open and willing to it
It may not seem ideal for some
But I have learned that my life
has never been ideal
My life has never been like anyone else’s
I am learning to lean into
the unknown and uncertainty
The future has its own time
The past must stay there
I must just live this day as it is
I am not promised anything
I can not control what this world will bring
I have had to let go of everything
My life is not in my control
The universe shows me that it knows best
It shows me this place is not my home
There are things for me to say
And there are things for me to forget
Live today, that is all I can do
A foreigner in this world.
