I
Seeing heaven open and close
In a sheltered happy home
Counting the stars lying on back
Feeling sky’s tears and its angry scratches
Are tucked safely in my happy mind box
II
Our farms gave us food
As streams quenched our thirst
The air had flings with the many trees
And whispered in the process
Goodness! And we were the beneficiaries of their passions
III
The farms had plants which smiled with opened palms
And had leaves swaying and dancing
Even when we uprooted some
They served in diligence and love
Being the Boasiakos who gave their heads in loyalty to save mankind
IV
Here I am
Missing their view
Missing their taste
Missing their nourishment
And deceiving myself of gaining class
V
I miss the scent of earth
I miss the scent of simplicity
I miss the beauty of the greens
I miss the times of young years
And I miss beings seeing me for me
