home is a place in the distance that always felt near
an echo in the hills rebounding in my ears
 
it’s a darkness that i keep returning towards
a blind horse confident in its goal
 
i’ve been chasing
you’ve been chasing through the years
for a place to belong
 
ever since we started to walk their path
we’ve been getting farther from proper sense
“look to those around and be in common”
but next i know, i’m losing my common sense
 
their 2 cents is payment to straighten my life’s journey
but walking their path is stripping me of all my expense
their wisdom is currency, so i give pennies for their thoughts
 
but now i don’t have a dollar to my name.
this is cents-less so i’m walking my own path
and you should too! because home is a place
in the distance that always felt near
 
we criticize other’s paths and methods
but we are all doing the same thing
 
chasing sun rises until our sun sets
dancing along our vibration and resonance
 
digging through the unthinkable for something
one simple thing that is already in our belonging
although still needs to be found
 
no matter how far it strays
no matter how deep it lies
even if it doesn’t make any sense
because home is a place in the distance
but each time i chase it always feels near
 
can’t you hear it?
an echo out in the hills
telling me that i belong
rebounding in my ears

Home is a place where you don’t have to be___
But you can just be.
It’s peace. Safety. It’s acceptance.
Home is closed eyes inhaling an atmosphere
Tainted with that distinct recipe.
Stern face—illuminated in a golden cloud
The music—a tragedy of natural composition;
The rawness of life in explosion.
Many have left, some returned
An osculation of the ocean that takes, sometimes gives.

Very often, home is within these walls
Captivity. Prison. Even when you’re free.
But I’ve made homes outside this world
Some, I carry no word nor trace to relive the place
Some, I’ve started tsunamis, lullabies
That echo my name to the end of earth.
I made a home when it was taken from me—
A place to be-long
Safe, open, peaceful.
Right here. Inside of me.
