Home is multi-dimensional,
Not bound by walls or borders,
The location is intentional
Built with love and care.
*
Finding home defeats direction,
East o' the sun - west o' the moon,
Navigating by the heart's connection
Suddenly you know you're there.
*
I thought I'd found it for a season,
Found a house, though, not a home.
Couldn't puzzle out the reason
Sorrow to wisdom, hard to bear.
*
Home depends not on relation,
Not on blood, or body's bone.
It appears with appreciation
Spirit easy in the soul you wear.
*
Some may never feel the rebuff
Never know the pain of 'go'.
Content with pieces, jagged, rough,
Silent resentment, muttered prayer.
*
Once finding home already in me,
No need to hunt, seek, or roam,
Ready, then, and open to see
Home is heart that we can share.
