Home

There is something about it
That even I cannot describe
A serenity that wakes
To dwell inside my mind
For no peace shall live
Free, if not within its walls
Nor is it bound to dance
If afar the cadence of its halls

For no matter how far the days shall go
There’s never a place like Home

Beautiful poetry, and also well written. Home is great and even when you think you need that getaway when you leave you always want to come back. Enjoy your day.
