Homecoming

I wandered far from the place I knew,
Through winding roads and skies of blue,
Yearning for a feeling of home to return to.
Amidst the lofty mountains and the serene sea,
I searched for somewhere familiar yet unexplored,
A space to roam freely and yet keep firmly moored.


For so long, home meant the outside world,
Where being loved and accepted was my goal,
Thinking that others would make me feel whole.
But on my journey for peace and belonging,
It was in the quiet that I finally came to see,
That home was never beyond my reach— it was always a part of me.


In the stillness, I found what I sought.
It wasn’t in the places traveled, as I’d thought,
But in the gentle whispers of my soul’s embrace,
Where I’d been home all along,
And where I’ve come full circle, back to my rightful place—
Where now, at last, I live with gratitude and with grace.
