Homecoming

Homecoming

I’m a gypsy a traveler and have been for over twenty years

Home is many things to me, I’m still yet to keep my feet still in a town for more than two years

There are many places worldwide I feel a strong connection with, that I think of as home

I’m guessing I am lucky to have more than one

I live in a very cheap old flat

Not by choice but by circumstance

I’m still gradually chipping away trying to make it feel cozy and not like a squatter’s den

It’s just me in my little shed flat

I think many times over it would be nice to share it with another

I dream of owning land and creating a family with someone

For now, it’s me

Me in my home

Though for me home is not only just a roof over my head, but also a place to connect to myself and community

The ocean brings me peace and joy

It fills my heart with clarity and calmness

Circles of friends bring me a sense of home and love

Massive hugs are imperative for me

Hugs are home

This year is a challenge for me

A year of keeping my feet still, hanging up my Gypsy boots and not packing a bag to leave

Home is what I have always wanted and searched for

The harder I look; I realise that my home is within me

To connect to my body, to breath

To feel happy and peace in my heart

To have a joyful heart

A heart that beats

And sleeps softly on a comfy pillow at night

Home ~ it’s where you make it
