Just remember

You have somebody waiting

Day and night

With a home for you

 

Not a physical one

Just in here

Not that big

But just enough room for you

You take up all the space

It’s beating just for you

 

Every day the lights turn on

In case you return

Every day the door is unlocked

Every night the bed is made

Ready to hold you

 

It may not be much

Not much room for more than just you

But if you stretch my walls trying to stretch your feet

I’d be okay with a little wear and tear

 

Everybody exhausts from prolonged use

But that’s okay

That was just its purpose

To hold you

 

And so every day the lights turn on

Every day the door is unlocked

And every night the bed is made

In case you might return

 

You’re a little far away right now

But remember you have someone waiting at home

Not a physical one

Just a little tiny heart

With one key

Just you.

I don't know if my old friends are still active or willing to lend some opinions... But I had a pretty thought and I wanted to share...

I enjoyed the poem. Hopeful and kind words shared my friend.
"And so every day the lights turn on
Every day the door is unlocked
And every night the bed is made
In case you might return"
The above lines. Needed by the all of us. A safe place to rest. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Nicely written piece of poetry, Well Done.

This 'thought' of yours filled my own thoughts with a taste of hope - for those of us the emptiness holds apart.

Keeping an open heart shows great optimism … your write shows poignancy and courage … your wordplay is that of hope … great job! Very good read … :-)

"Just a little tiny heart
With one key"

- Those two phrases, explain every bit of what is written above.. Makes me nostalgic for home and not just home, the warmth and belongingness ..
Well carved :)

[Leslie Philibert]

Fine poem..a vision, almost a short story, the poet knows that poems need a narrative !
