What does it mean to come home?

What does it mean to come home?

I think that changes as we roam

Newfound freedom from the places we go

Changes the feel of the places we know

Our souls’ adventurous, invigorated essence

Transforming our perceived presence

Our hearts’ ever expanding --

To change the plane upon which we’re standing

Being cracked wide open with love

To innerstand we all came from up above

Our earthly home is but one realm

But it’s the soul, you see, at the helm

The brightest living part of you

The driving force in all that you can do--

Finds its home right inside your chest

So you can be your very best

Home defined would be to the soul’s disservice

And would limit its very emergence

For it was never meant to be bound

Merely to spread joy all around

Though you may have four familiar walls and faces

And find much comfort in those places

The home that cannot be damaged or abandoned

Is the one that your chest commanded

The soul always knows the way

If we will let it out to play

You are always where you are meant to be

Trusting that chest of yours is key

Follow your path and stay brave

For finding itself is what the soul will crave

Follow wherever it should roam

There, darling, you will find your home
