Where do you belong?

[Lavenderblue2]

Whilst thinking about the thread 'The Oldest Inhabitants? - The Macphees' in the general section a poem from the book 'Tales from the Tent' by Jess Smith came to mind. It is so beautiful I thought I would share it with you...

Where do you belong?

I belong

Wherever the wind blows.

I am the feather

That soars above the billow’s crest,

That wheels above the moorland crags,

That lines the nest in far places.

I am the seed

That is borne aloft on the breeze,

That lights down on distant pastures,

That is the life of my people.

I have the strength of the tempest,

The gentleness of the zephyr.

I am the spirit of the whole land.

I am within the unbroken circle

That has no beginning and no ending.

Around I go like the story of life.

Written by Michael G Kidd.

That is really beautiful. I must copy it out and send it on to a friend.

I love the lines -

"I have the strength of the tempest
The gentleness of the zephyr."

A proud people and rightly so.

Great poem, thanks for sharing.
