I am a foreigner
in the country
of life

I am a fish
with wings

I am a bird
with no legs

I am a blind man
pointing
toward the sound
of a shooting
star
that has fallen
through a hole
in the pocket
of god

I have
always lived here,
but I am in exile

Oh I'm right there with Marge today!
What a wonderful piece of writing.
What a beautiful statement.

Don't bring me down now,
let me stay here for awhile
You know life's too short,
let me bathe here in your smile.

I do believe we are all in exile in a certain sense, on voluntary basis though.

Very original write.

Love,

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
