A Sense

Of belonging.

Having a sense of belonging
Acceptance and association
Closeness rapport and attachment
Fellowship and affiliation.

These are the ingredients
That fills my heart with joy
And as part of my beginning
Learned when I was a boy.

Collateral I’ve collected
Whilst walking down life’s track
All added to the tapestry
As swift seasons hurry back.

They’ve become part of my being
A part of what I’m allied to
From deep introspection
To a wide and open view.

Part of me belongs to you
Another to the breeze
The love I have for nature
And the beauty in the trees.

Another part dwells within
My anima, and spirit of adventure
And stays within my heart and soul
All places that I venture.

Belonging is a rightful place
A place where I can go
And feel at home with me
The someone that I know.
