Where I stand: let home be here.
Let home be more than vessel for me.
With warmth holding on to every corner.
Let it be a haven.
Like taking up space is just a bonus;
Like breath can actually give others life.
Let it be salt.
Dancing upon fingertips.
Following lives through seasons.
Taking the time, peppering confessions of good,
leaving the door open for those who would walk through.
Let it be a lamp,
That builds into a lighthouse.
Let it stand on the shore and show its source with every rotation.
