Home is food for the soul whereas a family is the platter serving love.

However far and wide you travel, the comfort you get when you are home is unmatched. This magical realm provides solace when you are lurking in the bylanes of your nostalgic mind. One feels grateful for this part of the earth which emancipates worries because you have your loved ones to come home to. I have summarised my thoughts in the aforesaid lines.

Hope you like it!!!

I live in you or you live within me

this earth blooms in my heart, perpetually

unwilling to face a dusky moment

I tend to its roots, caressing them ritually

The chapped walls healed with love

Cranking doors become music to fill the silence

unorganised things spread like foliage all around

without them, life can become a pretence

Gratitude swells up for this prideful possession

which stands firm along our intertwined hearts

wherever we go with the flow of time

this is solace to our souls, a place apart

I have tried to summarize my feelings for family and home in a few lines. Please acknowledge with your encouraging claps💜💝

I have learnt to be in a happy space since I started penning down my perspective as a poet and a writer.
