Stranger in My Home

Source: We Heart It

On days like this

Nights when I cannot sleep

Wandering from room to room

Searching …

For something …

Anything that is familiar

I am a stranger in my home

Memories follow me

like ghosts

Floating through my mind

Confusing me …

Haunting me …

Keeping me awake …

There is nothing familiar

Nothing left that I remember

Only a house with emptiness

yet filled with things

things I don’t need

And …

Cannot release

Who have I become?

Does it matter?

There is only me

in my solitude

But …

alone …

never lonely …

Finding My Way Home

Source: WeHeartIt

From time to time

I find myself lost

Not knowing where

to turn next

Not knowing what

to do next

Not knowing who

I can trust …

I can turn to …

 

In those times

I have to find

ME…

I have to get

to know myself…

I have to decide

which way is

Home …

Or …

Look for a new one

Create a new one

Because …

I can never go back…

I can only go

FORWARD …

Yearning…

The house at the

end of the lane

calls to me

A light coming

through the back

door reminds me

of home…

but — a home I

have never known

 

I feel them sitting

there in the kitchen

sharing their day…

watching TV…

laughing…

winding down for

the night as I  pass

by yet again feeling

drawn … yet, am

not allowed to enter

a pull to my soul

a longing for something…

something just out

of my reach

but something

I need…

I want…

The family I

have never had

Nor will ever have…

We are all parts
of the Universe
Moonbeams…
Stardust…
Ancient beings
and Spirits

Our lives are spent
looking for others…
That special soul
the one that
feels like home

The lucky ones
find at least one
other home
The Blesses fine
more than one

Going Home

Her Last few days

Going Home…

Hospice…

With her family…

 

Treasure this time

my Dears…

Ease her out with

dignity and grace

 

Give her the 

very best of 

each of you

your last times

And…

A peaceful

Going Home…

In memory of my dear friend who is losing her short battle against cancer.

Coming Home

Source: We Heart It

Escape was all

she could think

Driving all night 

through pouring

rain that kept

the windshield

fogged mixing 

with her tears

 

She didn’t know

where she was…

where she was going…

the road sang beneath

her tires accompanied

with drums of raindrops

 

Just around the bend…

a rise in the road and

dawn splitting through

the last of the clouds

She saw a neon sigh

 

Flashing…

     gas…

guitars…

     gas…

guitars…

 

A sign in a 

sign in a sign…

She needed gas

and it was time again

to have a guitar

 

Stopping…

she felt like she

was coming home…
