I feel the lurching, lunging, staggering to a halt. Smoke billows up, obscuring the outer view.
I collect my things and join the bustling crowd, my fellow sojourners to a new land.
As I disembark with cautious steps, the unfamiliarity of it all envelops me:
the sights, smells and sounds, a symphony of welcome foreign to my weary ears.
I tighten my grip on my meager possessions, a talisman from my past, and together, we take the first few steps, hesitant though eager, into a new life.
