The more effected exile is the exile of soul, as the poet here cried and screamed when she realized her real and true orbit is some where else, she needs as a brilliant poet to settle in her peaceful environment, and this important discovery of relationship with place tell us how original and genuine she is, really this poem is poignant and superb...10++and onto my fav list differently Congratulations you are so good

. I do not belong here, I cried I was made for a different place This place is not my pace This place is not my home.

I want to be back in yesterday I want to be back home They speak a different language here And my soul is longing for its home........touching and impressive expression with nice theme. A beautiful poem nicely executed. This is my pleasure reading time and again.

Susan, this just may be your best poem in a brilliant body of work. You have captured a universal feeling so brilliantly. The title is just perfect...displaced. It suggests that one does not have to travel a great distance to feel 'a long way from home.' The slightest turn, or an imperceptible shift, may produce the result. In fact, standing still while all changes around you can result in displacement. A great work...A perfect 10.

Out of the blue surprises can knock you for six. Despair and Isolation lingers in these words while grief and homesickness cuts deeper into the soul. Always worse when a long way from home away from loved ones.

Part 2. Kumarmani...So I am forced to write a comment off site and paste it here on this poem which I will probably have to track down with my marvelous tracking abilities and steadfast determination not to be bested by PH or computer problems.

Part 3. Thank you for the 10! ! ! ! And thank you for reading this poem and commenting on it. You may have noticed it is rather old- I am trying to save my eyesight by using some poetry oldies but hopefully goodies while waiting for appointment with eye laser doc.

Hi Susan, Blood oozes from the wounded hearts..Eyes have forgotten to cry...or, is it that tears went dry? Parched eye lids and bleeding hearts are the characteristics of the displaced..caused by those wield physical power. India in 1947, Jews until Israel was founded....Or by the fury of nature like Kerala last month or Indonesia today... wonderful poem.

The raw pain of David is seeping from the page, the awfulness is beyond his comprehension, his heart wants yesterdays to embrace him tightly something to hold onto, but the day brings the dawn of savage circumstances! A great and heart-wrenching poem!

This is a poem on despair, regret and soul. A soul displaced suddenly without coming shortfall. The soul found himself in Mahanaim. The soul was Poetess Susan herself. It is so meaningful philosophical poem. Beautifully penned. I appreciate this poem. Full vote.

A soul that searches shall in the end arrive home. Home is where the heart is...inside of us...the rest is foreign land. And when our joy comes from what we have within our hearts (for me Christ) we cannot be derailed from the path leading home. This is a beautiful poem on life's journey. Thank you poetess Susan. This led me to introspect.10+++++++

Yes! ! ! ! You nailed it! ! ! Sometimes we are painfully aware of how this is not our home, that we don't belong here. Thank you for reading this with your heart and soul, Haidee, and spending time contemplating it. And thank you for those sparkling 10's! ! !
