HOME BODY

HOME EXISTS INSIDE OF ME,

NEIGHBORING MY THOUGHTS AND MY FREEDOM

TO DO AS I PLEASE WITH EVERY BREATH,

DURING THE SPACE BETWEEN TIMES

WHEN I'M ALONE

WHEN I WANT TO BE

AND EVEN WHEN I DON’T,

BECAUSE THERE ARE TIMES WHEN ALL I HAVE

IS WHAT I AM AND WHAT I FEEL

HOME EXISTS EVERYWHERE

AS MUCH AS IT EXISTS NOWHERE,

I'VE NEVER CALLED A PLACE HOME,

LIFE WAS TOO TURBULENT TO DISTINGUISH

ANY ONE PLACE FROM ANOTHER,

BUT I'VE FELT IT,

IN LITTLE MOMENTS

IN JOY AND SADNESS

IN LONGING AND SATISFACTION

IN PONDERING AND CONTEMPLATION

IVE FELT IT

I FIND MY HOME EVERY DAY

EVERY NIGHT

WITH EVERY TEAR AND EVERY LAUGH

BECAUSE IN THOSE MOMENTS

I AM MY TRUEST SELF

NO ROOM FOR UNCERTAINTY,

WHENEVER I LOOK FOR IT

I FIND IT ENDLESSLY WOVEN INTO THE LININGS OF MY BEING,

BECAUSE HOME EXISTS FROM THE BEGINNING OF NEVER

TO THE END OF FOREVER,

AS LONG AS I CAN FEEL, THEN

I HAVE A HOME
