I Know Where It Will All End
I wrote this poem as soon as I landed back in Toronto (y. 2022). This was dedicated to my niece, Sage.
Hopping from one place to another, searching for something… or them. Searching for my heart, and a dream.
Slaving away to survive. Well, that’s just life. Forgetting the stars and the moon, as they collide to save a dime.
Where’s the heart? Where’s the dream? Where’s something? Where to find them? Where’s home? I’m still searching. Still searching all alone.
Many years have passed, I still don’t know where to last. Does God see me? Does God light up the way? Tell me, where are they? Is this destiny?
One kissed me goodbye at two. The man whispered a little truth before he flew. The wise betrayed my trust in heaven’s laws. The survived breaths must hold on no matter where I go.
So I would hop from one place to another, searching for something… or them. Searching for my heart and maybe a dream.
When, once upon a time, home was the only dream that ever came true. Now I’ve realized where and how it will end without you.
This poem is dedicated to my niece who’s living her best life at home in the Philippines.
