What Lies Beyond Me

Enjoying some peace @ Langeneß

Little did I know
I left my heart
Where I have lived 
With whom I shared my journey with 

Honey, shall you be brave 
There is a whole world awaits for you 
To be found and explored
More than just your comfy bubble that you have always known 

Among all the blonds and brunette
You with the black hair 
Stand the most in the crowd

With your accent 
You can not hide your origins 
But why should you?

What is home
When your starting point is now way beyond
You have grown roots in the new ground 

Journey grows people
Including you inevitably
You are not the same as the old you anymore 

And you know that it is okay
As you write this away from home ode 
In the land of Germany
In the land of Europe
In this world…
