Far From Home

Far From Home

If home is where the heart is

I seem to have misplaced mine

It vanished in the darkness

Within Internal depths I can’t define

Tumbling terminally downward

No hope of coming to rest

Untethered and unfettered

Throughout this lifelong quest

It’s said that once you leave home

You can never go back again

But there’s also the school

That says if you go back

They have to take you in

Uncertain which aphorism is true

I choose to not be concerned

Absence has fueled futility

Through impermanence I have learned

Most regard home as a place of safety

Where, when away, remembrance is fondly of

A sanctuary from the insanity of the outside world

A haven of happiness and love

In search of existential answers

I have wandered far and wide

The one truth I’ve discovered in my travels Is that home is by your side
