This Ancient Land

______________________________________________________
My very own

How strange this country looks ,

Through borrowed eyes

Of a foreigner .

The very same

Uninteresting once ,

The sights are so different ;

Now provoking thought

Urging the inner self

To defy despair

And act ,

To break the spell of night

Lingering on this

Ancient land .
