Trail of Homes

TRAIL OF HOMES

	                              1983
                                    July 24
                                   Leaving 
                                   her child-
                                hood memory
                              - home behind. 

                              Crossing Pacific 
                             Ocean. 7200 miles 
                           relocation. Called…
                          America her new 
                         - foreign Home. 

                        June 26, 2017 
                        Sailing to her 
                       Highest-Self home.
                      A purest residence no 
                    address.  A journey raising 
                   consciousness. March 3, 2019 

                welcoming her true beloved.  She
               safely nests at a Home Port in his heart.  
             Present moment: Ode to Contentment.  
          Bow to detachment.  Gratitude whispers: smile!
         Be here and now................Home is inward.

Bill Baker Date: 11/30/2021 4:44:00 PM Lovely way to tell of your journeys Sierra, both outward/physical and inward/spiritual. The last three line were very meaningful to me. Wisdom in a nut shell. Thanks for sharing with us, A poet in Texas, Bill Login to Reply

Ryan J. Mccabe Date: 1/19/2021 4:50:00 PM I was moved by this work, It not only drew me in visually, but with it's promising evocation, too. Well written my friend and fellow poet. Login to Reply
