Home is where the heart is
So I have nowhere left to stand
No doorway knows my name
No room remembers my breath
I walk the world unclaimed
A wanderer carved from frost
Carrying only the echo
Of a pulse I misplaced
Home is where the heart is
But mine slipped from my ribs
Like a bird fleeing winter
Leaving me
Roofless
Rootless
A body without a compass
Still I search the dark
Not for shelter
Not for warmth
But for the faintest thrum
That might lead me back
To something like living
Home is where the heart is
And I am learning slowly
To build one
From the ashes
Of what I lost

Sad yet hopeful this poem speaks of a sense of wandering in search of a home lost and needing reconstruction from ashes no less these need to be mixes with clay and sand to make brick. Well written Anthony
I like the tinge of hope at the end. Well written
i hope you succeed in your venture, and build a modest one to begin with, and then move forward...all the best...
This is so good. I'm glad you can build your home. Everyone deserves it.
