When Feeling Homeless, Read This Poem

 Matthew Brodeur image

Fellow Traveler,

do you feel like you've been 

searching for home

for a lifetime?

Are you out there in the dark

storm-tossed and weary,

buffeted by winds,

with still such a long way 

to go?

Come home.

I'll put a candle on the sill

to light your way. 

There's a fire in the hearth

and a soup-pot slow-simmering.

Comfort and kind words await.

You need only arrive.

Come home, weary traveler,

to the only home

there ever is ~

home to yourself

once again.

A homecoming poem this Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, shared with The Sunday Muse.
