As winds dance violently with my hair – I
catch my mind wandering far and near – miss
take my thoughts away from me – my
country my soul desires to be – home
Again, my mother’s arms embracing – my
Eyes full of tears, my heart racing – heart
Which I feel flooding with great seas – breaks
At the thought of distant memories – with
Only time by my side – longing
For the end of this tide.
