Caring dove

At home

Sometimes we’re in one place 

when we wish to be in another 

like a flower in a field 

by other flowers 

wishing to be in that field over there 

in the distance 

with those flowers she can connect to with more ease 

yet sometimes she just has to be here 

 

and there the feeling of not feeling at home 

because of missing those we can connect to with more ease 

a sense of being a bit out of place 

a bit lost 

something isn’t feeling right 

a place to live in yet it doesn’t always feel like home 

 

standing where I am 

feeling a bit adrift 

lost 

missing those we used to see more 

standing in one spot 

feeling lost and adrift 

 

home isn’t just where you live 

sometimes it’s more other people 

home isn’t always where you live or used to live 

sometimes it’s near to those you are missing
