Longing fulfilled, at rest

with a happy heart.

All perfect,

united in loving harmony,

smiling together

at home in a new homeland

of stars and stripes;

the backpack, the bag full.

Ten glasses, all overflowing,

overflowing.

X of Cups, flip card:

Restlessness.

The troubled heart;

nostalgia for the land,

the abandoned culture.

Empire uncertainty

that caused the displacement.

Useless what the backpack carries,

the bag, uncertain

of what so much glass overflows.

Poem by Rafael Jesús Gonzalez
