Naarm

28th May 2023

Sometimes wonder if I am in a dream

I am so grounded it feels foreign

Because my mind is running

From place to place and idea to idea

What Naarm has given me

Is a place to call home

A vocation, a lover, a community

That I can build a new history

And I feel anchored to what I call a base

Roots planted in to the ground

Ready to give up the race

Spreading out my branches in freedom

But the only race is in my mind

And in my heart from too much caffeine

It is a steady pull and push

A balance I could not have asked for more

To be grounded with the freedom

To spread my wings out and explore

To do what I absolutely adore

To be showered with so much more
