Creating Home

Home is a word that beckons the feeling deep within our being.

It’s an indescribable sensation that permeates the soul

As it reaches inward, striving to create a sense of foreseeing,

Enveloping and molding all that’s derived to make us whole.

Life is full of twists and turns and yet to home we always return

For a sweeping comfort and peaceful security beyond the norm

Looking inward we pull from ourselves, desiring that which makes us yearn

As we feel undiversified acceptance, having no need for others to perform.

Home is a feeling beyond measure and beyond the scope of lands

Derived of endless days, nights, and years spent doing what makes us who we are

It’s peace, tranquility, individuality, and all that comes together to expand

Our sense of worth, preservation, and all that’s unique, like a brilliant star.

So for that which you may call home, look deep within your mind’s eye

It’s there you will find what you know so well and that which you always seek

And it’s there that you will find a release which will make your heart cry

With resounding happiness and alignment as home you will meet.
