Home

This week's theme on IAW is Home. I, by chance, happened to find this poem/collection of thoughts, and realised it would fit perfectly. But to be fair, I won't submit this seeing as how I have already won once. So onto my blog it goes!

The melodious music in the voices I know

The caressing embrace of all that surrounds me

A pleasant aroma of familiarity in the air

In the solid but friendly walls

A vivid sense of security resides

Away from the sun scorched world

In the privacy of my own little nest

Where concern hangs in every word

Where my sister's twitter brightens all

Where anger too is accepted, and understood

Where being honest is as easy as it should be

Where love adorns life

And where a twinkling smile

Can always be seen, always be sensed

Where each moment is dancing with joy

Neither cover nor mask is necessary

No costumes, no need to pretend

For here you can be yourself

And still be truly accepted

The cradling feathers of my pillow

The carpets that welcome me with whispers

My mother's reassuring touch

And my father's elusive smile.

Echoing the happy laughs

Each brick is a part of my home

And my home is the best part of me
