Home Is Wherever I Left A Little Piece Of My Heart

Home, where exactly is the place I call home

Is it in a bustling city or a rural country town,

Does it mean a particular building or house

Or an old faded comfortable dressing gown?

***

No, none of all that is the place I call home

Home is all about the love I feel in my soul,

The love of the people buried deeply inside

A few special people who make my life whole.

***

Top of that list would be my two amazing Sons

Time in their company evokes a special feeling,

A smile, a hug and the words I love you Mum

Instantly takes me home and I start the healing.

***

My two older Sisters and my younger Brother

Teleport me home instantaneously at will,

The sound of their voices or a peel of laughter

All take me home where I can relax and be still.

***

Memories can also take me home when I allow

Remember a small country town in my youth,

Home to my teenage years where I felt love

Living authentically comfortable in my truth.

***

A section of a sandy beach not special to others

Blue ocean, white sand and a slanted palm tree,

Happy days spent as I found home in a lost soul

His loving heart, for awhile, set my heart free.

***

A solitary camping trip in the tropical rainforest

Home found as I sit on the flowing river banks,

Communing with Mother Nature and Universe

Filling with calm and peace while giving thanks.

***

A full moon slow stroll on a white sandy beach

My hand held so lovingly by the love of my life,

At home discussing all our wishes and dreams

Days after celebrating we’re now man and wife.

***

As you can see home is not always set in stone

It’s all expansive fluidity of a heart that roams,

With a pit stop here and a detour on the way

As this heart moves softly from home to home.
