I rarely leave my home, these days,
holding to familiar rooms
and tending to my garden.
I enjoy companionship
of family as they go about
their comings and goings.
My home is a sanctuary,
sheltering me from change.
I rarely leave my home, these days.
I have designed for most of what I need:
food, comfort, the ability to work,
pets that provide distraction,
but yet, I wonder if I
am drawing lines within myself
setting boundaries between
what I am and what I might become.
My home is a sanctuary,
sheltering me from change.
I rarely leave my home these days,
but if I did, where would I go?
I take walks by the creek,
venture into a store, before
returning home to wash my hands,
then tending to my garden.
My home is a sanctuary,
sheltering me from change.
