Never Too Far

Home is neither brick nor mortar

Never Too Far

There is a place,

That’s never as far away as it may seem ;

Hidden, the place lives and breathes

As I slowly sink; I slowly sink.

Existing is not the same as living;

Home is not stagnant.

Not brick. Not mortar.

Rather, what’s beneath skin and bone

And when I don’t feel at home,

I can run;

Finding a place with sun may help me move on,

But when my heart and mind are not aligned

That sun will not seem to shine, and I will

Not be having fun

For home cannot be found

In the physical realm

It is not material.

Home, is ethereal

And we’re never too far;

Never too far.
