#2539-Emergence

To stand out.

Appear different,

From the crowd.

To feel special,

And belong,

In a foreign land,

Where my feet,

Didn’t touch the ground.

Work to succeed,

In hurrying speed,

For it was all,

I had ever seen.

Yet I couldn’t perceive,

Life’s meaning,

Among the leaves.

It is curious,

To look back,

Wonder,

What may have been,

Had I simply felt at one,

With the flowers and me.
