HOME

Laughter in the air, peace in the corners-

Sunshine dancing on the walls with rustling leaves,

Comfort among heavy limbs in dreamy slumber.

Smells of baking bread and a chicken roasting in the oven,

Hoyas sprouting new stems reaching towards the bright light,

The chorus of a song returns to gather me up in a warm embrace.

A figure naps on the couch as I turn the page in my book,

Don’t know what’s coming next but it’s overflowing with possibilities.

I look inside my heart and see hope stirring, blinking sleepy eyes.

It’s as if I’ve been here before, but I haven’t- not yet.

This home that allows unconditional love and joy to utterly be-

And knowing that I belong with them, and they with me.
