WAITING 
Shining stars in your eyes
a memory from the past
With hope in your voice
You did say will you come back?
Will you wait for me I asked
Till the day I die you said
Till the day I cannot see this world

Shining stars in your eyes
I dreamed about them
all the way on the journey
days were long and nights were dark
the wait has gone longer and longer
Life got on the way 
and the bright stars have grown dim.
Dr Farah Adeeb (Perth)

Where do I belong?

 Where do I belong?

Where have I come from?

Identity, a sense of belonging,

why there is no answer?

Like the moon covered by clouds,

grey clouds, misty mornings,

why do I not have an identity?

 

Where have you come from? you asked,

you are not a native of this land.

Oh well, you guess it. I leave it to you,

am I Asian, Spanish, Mexican...

divided like a stream into two cultures,

which values do I need to adopt,

which values do I need to leave out?

A question of identity ― the crisis of belonging

 

how long do I need to live in a place ― I ask myself

to get an identity ― a sense of belonging?

When will it rain and then will the sky be clear again?

And the moon will be without clouds,

and is it then I will have identity?

Dr. Farah Adeeb (Perth)
