Sunrise in a strange land

by RangaNathanNS
Sunrise in a strange land -
The day has just begun;
No one knows who you are,
You have no place to run.

You reach out to someone
And make a gesture true;
They look at you and turn
Their face away from you.

How did you get so far
Away from comfort zone?
Is this what you wanted -
Frightened and all alone?

You have to find a way
To be part of the place;
Keep that fear inside,
Become a friendly face.

When you can see them smile
And greet you everyday,
You know you've overthrown
Your worst fears away.

Then its time to move on,
Leaving this place behind;
Searching for another
Sunrise in a strange land.
Let others and the author know if you liked it

Liked it alot?
