Poetry

In Search of Sanctuary

by

Handsen Chikowore

Distances describe their determination
Beyond boundaries they seek safety
Their pathways darkened with doom
At the foot of a frozen glacier they breathe fire
Some swallowed by sea currents
Others starve whilst their longing for life fade
Their lives anchored at the verge of loss
Like a flipped coin, assurance is unlikely
Refugee remains a prolonged journey of conflict
