Mark Russell Poet Acrostic

A House Is Not a Home

Another day passes yet here I stand
Home is somewhere that my heart can land
Open your eyes and you shall see
Unleash your spirit and learn to be free.

Sometimes the world just beats me down
Everything vanishes and no one’s around
I don’t understand why this happens to me
Seeing then understanding seems to be key.

Now that my heart knows where to go
Only one thing I shall need to know
Today will pass regardless of what I do
Another step closer to understanding what’s true.

Home is a place where your heart feels safe
One step closer to reaching this place
Many words are spoken yet few are heard
Everyone knows home is more than a word.

Dr.Ram Mehta August 27, 2011 at 2:59 PM yes I agree to your expressions on home and house Mark Russell August 28, 2011 at 1:31 PM Thanks I guess my point is home is where your heart is. In this respect I am homeless for my heart lies somewhere else. Life is what you put into it and when you put in good things they come back to you. Some day I shall find a home:) Take care and thanks for reading because of you I am.......Mark
