My love, you are my home
Key fitted perfectly
to unlock
the safety of belonging
You are my home
Enfolding space I come
to disrobe myself
of pretense
of emotional distance
of defense
to stand in the smallness
of my vulnerability
You are my home
Sturdy shelter crafted
by a language of trust
that sees
that hears
that breathes
my story back into my compass song
when I am lost
You are my home
Place of returning
a constancy that holds
against circumstance
against time
against attrition
against the wounds the world cuts
upon my fragile skin
My love, you are home
so know
no matter how far
the footfalls of day lead
I will always return
to the warm hearth
of your heart home.
