TheDeon
The Exiles Dreams
By D+D
In Distant lands of wealth and peace,
the exiles join to dream.
Memories,
not theirs, assail them.
Faint sadness,
hidden within mirth
weigh down spirits
that have won freedom.
On a plane we met a man,
who told us tales of Laos.
Condemning that ancient land,
its regime offended him.
We asked a needless question.
Never had he been there
to taste the dust or hear the wind
or feel the mighty river.
The sadness in his eyes,
his voice
told us of his passion
for the land his father fled
so many years ago.
This man was no less Lao
for his state of exile.
The spirit of old LanXon
lived deep within his soul.
He dreamed one day of going home.
He dreamed of memories he had never known.
Dreams,
the soul of Laos.
FINI
Sabaidee ai Deon;)
We met this man on a plane once, we never forgot him because he was so
sad;( We never saw him again but we hope he gets to go home one day,
back to Laos ......
