EGO SUM DOMUS MEA (I AM HOME)

A question that surfaces

Time and again

While the answers are plenty

Only one can remain

With ancestry lineage

From Athens and Rome

And an African birth-place…

Where is my home?

A sense of belonging –

A craving insatiable –

The truth to this puzzle

Becomes inescapable

To travel, explore

Is to seek, search and find

Geographically forward

Leaving stagnant behind

Onwards and skywards

To land unexplored

Immersing in cultures,

And lifestyles abroad

Accents and currencies

Are learned on the way

Home now seems further

Then it did yesterday

Could it be at the peak

Of that mountain perhaps?

Or at that location

I typed on G-maps?

Perchance it might be

In the eyes of another

Will my Home reappear

As we connect to each other?

But placing the pressure

In a romance or friend

Can make disappointment

The result in the end

Not this, not that,

Makes the path become clear

Possibly home

Is found within my career

Focus and work

And determinate drive

Could making-a-living

Be what makes me alive?

Realizations occur

At the end of the day

The searching must stop –

There is no other way

If home is not found

In reflections world-wide

It can only be Home

Is detected inside

Home is a feeling –

It’s Wherever You Are

And so feeling at home

Never feels very far

You take yourself with you

Wherever you go

Therefore Home is within you

The truth must be so

Home has to be

How you feel all the time

An infinite energy

Push-pull paradigm

Home is a moment

In sync with your heart

Remembering nothing

Is truly apart

The brush of the wind

And the splash of the sea

The feather that’s fallen

Is what Home means to me

The pictures the clouds make

In the silence of sound

The eyes on the trees

Is where my Home is found

Wherever I am

Is wherever I’ll be

My Home is a state

That is found within me
