(“Tomorrow’s Voices Today“ is a new series curated by poet and educator Mike Sonksen.)

***

A
Tree
In winter
It is Christmas
I should be happy
But
I am not
Cause of the tree
The tree just stand there
Lonely as me
I  Start to walk around
Seems I really  lost  something
And my heart is flying thousands of miles away
Seeking
Finding
Search
Finally
I’m here
My home.
