Oh, Abandoned Soul — Where Can I Find You a Safe & Reliable Home?
Simple needs — is it possible?
2 min readJun 11, 2022
Inspired by Maya Angelou’s Alone
Resting, wondering
staring out the window
where will my soul find home?
Like dirt finds its earth
as earth caresses it with care
Like coffee sits in a cup
as the cup keeps it warm
Like saltwater finds an ocean
as the ocean allows water to find freedom
Like words grace a page
as the page brings life to the words
Like carrots reach into the dirt
as dirt nourishes and empowers
Like sun sits in the sky
as sky embraces and expands the light
Like crayons etches the paper
as paper greets crayons without judgment
I wonder.
Is there a place for my soul?
Is there solace for my awakening?
Is there joy in the chaos?
