Red thread – Poem – Stories from an adoptee

There is a red thread between two different kind of worlds,
One world with red dragons, incense and lantarns I cannot remember,
I guess I lost her many years ago,
What she really was like, I will never ever know.

She changed very fast after I left her twenty years ago,
She is not the same anymore,
Neither am I,
We both changed in ways you can’t imagine,
Despite the distance, I still feel compassion.

There is a red thread crossing the big oceans and small seas,
All the way to the place I am right now; here,
This world I feel, smell, hear and see everyday,
It’s the world where I love, eat, work and pray.

This world taught and showed me so many beautiful things life has to offer,
I am living my dream because of her,
She gives me hope, freedom and protection,
She gives me motivation and takes me to the right direction.

There is a red thread between two kind of different worlds,
Both worlds taught me a different lesson,
One taught me my roots and family history,
While the other taught me to enjoy everyday cause the future is a big mystery.
