Home

Home Not house, home Not dread, joy Not maybe, always Warm sanctuary, love Overflow of glee, pleasure Even if you go, Home will always be there, For you, for family, for rest House Not home, house House, Sold, given, left, Floor, wood, rooms Empty, but full Cold walls, sharp corners As I drag my fingertips along, Not an open door, locked A home that was once A soft embrace Home- Home is laughter in the halls, Familiar footsteps echoing, My heavy eyelids closing, The warmth of a door left ajar, A light that never fades.
