Wandering Spirit

By MarkPublished 3 years ago 1 min read
H O M E

Home is where the heart is, or so they say

But for me, it's not that simple, not just a place to stay

Home is a feeling, a sense of belonging

A warmth in my chest, a sense of strong longing

As a refugee, my home was left behind

Torn apart by war, it was hard to find

A place to call my own, to start anew

To create a life, to build something true

But home is not just a physical space

It's the people around me, the embrace

Of those who love and support me

Who lift me up, who help me to see

Home is the language I speak

The food I eat, the friends I keep

The music that fills my heart

The culture that sets me apart

It's the memories I carry with me

The experiences that have shaped me

The struggles I've faced, the battles I've won

The dreams that keep me moving on

So while my physical home may change

The feeling of home remains the same

A sense of safety, of peace, of love

That I carry with me, wherever I go, whatever I become
