The house feels like
ours
because we chose this one
or maybe,
Spirit
led us to this one
but this on we
chose
and it feels
right

The house feels like
ours
because we chose this one
or maybe,
Spirit
led us to this one
but this on we
chose
and it feels
right
Figuring where things go
cooking the first meal
falling on the stairs
feeling the energy
driving a new car
heating and cooling fixed
body and mind catching up
decisions being made
life moving forward
and as I sat there
I felt the energy
of us
melt away from the house
until,
finally
they said
“We’re done.”
I signed the papers
turned out the lights
locked the doors
and suddenly
it was the place
we once lived in
and not
home
exhaustion
has set in
but I’m closer to the end
and closer
to being fully
home
again
my lists
are getting shorter
and my chores
are finishing
soon
it will be
done
hallelujah

you’re just left bare
because the emotions
just flood you
and you can’t stand
right.
a forging
of the soul
when you know you
can’t hide
from
whatever you are
and you just have
to ride
the wave
because if you fight it
it will
eat you
you know it’s time for bed
when you are watching
YouTube
without thinking about it
because right now
that is what I’m doing
and writing poetry
because that’s the
21st century
and my wife is home
and I’m not
so
yeah
time for bed
My mind is tired
it’s hard not to be
overwhelmed
but I will get through
and it’s strange to think
that home is now
2000 mi away

Leave a Comment I am ready
for the boxes to be packed
and the movers
to take away the contents
of our house
I am ready
to see the sun from a
different place
to experience the seasons
and unpack boxes
I am ready
to set up altars
and desks
to do writing
in the new house
I am ready
for the new
and the different
to be with my wife
in a new place
with new people
I am ready
for the moving
to be complete
and for our lives
to move forward
