I feel a reader's home is a multiverse!

They wore glassy looks
in their eyes ,
as they spoke about their
respective homes.
Fond playful memories in their backyard,
Of the bittersweet stories on the porch
Of their family near and close!
Speaking in a native tongue,
the right accent
snuck up in their voices,
as home meant
their whole universe
converging in that moment!

Reminds me of my home, let's see
whose backyard's a parting portal, I feel
to places far and wide
Alive and vibrant, always in disguise,
a mess,
alternating chaos and order!
Scented stories lay etched
Upon the silent porches, which exists
more than I can possibly count!
As far as extended families go,
mine is, literally, one of a kind!
Communication isn't about words or sounds
with fixed interpretation, but
a unique expression of a heart,
carrying meaning of its own,
differing at different times!

My home is a freaking multiverse
diverging into millions of moments!

As they say..
A home is,
where a heart is! �'�

Remembering the formative years of or lives helps us to maintain a balance of opinion. It is so easy in this frenetic world to forget what gave us our real personality, We should all be reminded of this sometimes, and your poem certainly achieves that.
