Home (Poem)

Home is a strange term.

Always evolving and shifting.

Time and life will make memories either

faded or more vibrant with nostalgia

of one’s own meandering experience.

Home seems to be in the little things…

The scent of blueberry muffins at 5:30 in the morning.

Going to your favorite corner store for sheer habit.

Home is in the silence in between each minute

that you wish you were in the arms of a loved one

and the internal jokes that one can only get

from understanding certain cultural mores…

It is the echoes left on the heart connecting to

childhood friends and new friends that become

new brothers, sisters and lovers along the way.

One can travel all around the world

run as far as one can go,

only to come back to square one and

reunite with yourself.
