Home Is Where...

Home is where the heart knocks on the door so the body can just walk in

Home is where the mind takes its shoes off at the door

Where inhibitions hang their coats up

Where the soul reclines at the foot of stressful days

And restless nights

Where it costs nothing to exist

Except a heart full of love

-

Home is where tapestries turn into trees

Different colors and patterns taking root in its foundation

Growing upwards until its leaves can be seen from the edge of the Earth

So when we wander, we will always find our way back

-

Home is where rivers of tears are free to flow

Where the sound of laughter dances across the wind

Where hurricanes of anger don't rip the house from the ground

And earthquakes of pain don't swallow up the innocent

But instead lead to plans for withstanding the storms

And boarded up windows that prove that you can

-

Home is where comfort can be found in the unpredictable

And excitement in the monotony

Home is where the heart is

And my heart is with you
