Pome (n); a poem about home.
Home is a feeling
home is a place,
home is a smell
home is a taste,
Home is the comfort of belonging,
the ache of longing,
home is family.
It is in you
And it is in me.
Home isn’t just the roof over your head
Or your side of the bed
It is in you,
and it is in me.
Home is the shade under
your favorite tree
It is those biscuits you love
and that evening cup of tea
It is in you,
And it is in me.
Home is rarely just a space
it is the comfort of an embrace
it is in you,
And it is in me.
Home is the story you find in what you read
someone else’s words
and yet your insides bleed
It is in you,
And it is in me.
Home is the sound of your baby’s first cry,
It is the replaying of the moments after a goodbye,
There is a home in you,
And there is a home in me.
