Home is where my heart lives.

It is where joy abounds and love stays. Where my mind rests and where peace is found. It is where forever is never enough.

Home is familiarity,

It is where I can find dark corners with eyes closed. Where the air feels like blankets. It is where I find comfort in common things.

Home is safety.

It is where tears go to rest and sleep is sweet. Where the heart does not race. It is where the unknown isn't scary.

Home is peace.

It is where no pressure resides. Where calm is abundant even in the midst of storms. Where there is morning no matter how dark the night is. It where silence doesn't mean war.

Home is joy.

It is where smiles thrive. Where the sounds of laughter are not 'too' loud. It is where my presence lights up consciousness.

Home is hope.

It is where tunnels are brightened with warm stars and lights floods the end it. Where dreams bloom into better truth. It is where mirage become realities.

Home is love.

It is where errors are forgiven and mistakes are erased. Where kindness is product of constant choice and not a tool for barter. It is where growth is praised and watered.

Home is you.

It is where my soul chose. Where no fight breaks bonds. It is where life is precious. Where happiness, even priced happiness lasts. Where memories of you don't die. Where the knowledge of you is oxygen.

Home is you and I and forever.
