home
it doesn’t have a meaning, yet has a feeling
the feel of a certain moment
the feel of someones arms embracing you
and the feel of knowing everything is okay


the meaning of home differs for all of us
maybe its looking at your family
maybe its looking into your soulmates eyes
and maybe its what we feel when we know we have accomplished what we were born to do

it might be looking at the stars on a windy Saturday night
it might be the fall of the leaves in autumn
and it might be drinking your morning coffee while watching the sunrise

 

and most of all, its the smile you give yourself when you figure out you’ve found it.

I really like your simplicity. the way that you just let the words say what they will, and the reader think what they will.

what a beautiful and touching poem! I love the flow of your writing as well as the emotions this piece brought across. Great job! :) PS Could you possibly check out my novel "The Art of Letting Go"? I'd appreciate it!

There is a lot of meaning packed into those few short verses. This is one of those pieces that everyone thinks of something completely different for. Excellent job! I think that's what you were going for. The lack of exact description on the different imagery made it that way. So, good job.
