Where the Heart Is

Being Homeless

By Neil HeddingsPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

Those sleepless nights

Will at first

Accost.

Then evolve into

Something oddly

Familiar,

Comfortable

Routine, and

Eventually even

Longed for.

The rising sun

Bringing along with its light

The false promises of

Warmth and

Security

Will also carry

An instinctive certainty

Concerning the knowledge of

The daily dose of

True disappointment

That gets handed out

Once you realize...

There will be only

Unrest

For the weary.

As it will happen

This day

And the next.
