finally

i’m never lonely anymore

i’ve found my home

my home is a feeling,

not a place

the sweet sip of chai 

warmth in my belly full of love

the baristas laugh a friendly hug

my home is a gift

Lola the Orca

reminds me i can be loved

i deserve to be loved

the most thoughtful gift of all

security

my home is a nook and cranny

the space our faces fit perfectly

like puzzle pieces 

like a lock and key

everything makes sense

love

my home is love

my home is peace

my home is serenity

my home is inside me

i’m never lonely anymore 

finally.
