Home

Home is

Where the heart resides,

Or so they say.

I used to wonder

Why I never

Felt

Like I ever

Belonged,

In any one place

In any one time

With any one group.

For years on end

I have felt

Out of step

Out of place

Alone,

Lost at sea

Floundering

Drowning.

But no more.

I caught a glimmer.

A glimmer of peace,

A glimmer of hope,

A glimmer of love.

And now

There is no turning back.

Be it mountain

Or desert

Through which

I must trek,

I will find my way

To the place

Where that glimmer

Encompassing all

Becomes a blinding light.

I will find

My way home.
