Home Is Where?

Tabitha J. Bryson 1973 (Indianapolis, Indiana)



Lost among the miles
stranger to all lands
restlessly moving about
wondering who I am.

I belong among many souls
hearts all adrift
I see my reflection in their faces
nervously I shift.

Do they know their home?
Does anyone know where they are?
Are we to find security in ourselves
that we haven't found so far?

So where is your home?
I'm lucky, I think I found mine
I sought within my soul
and found it was right there all this time.
