Home isn't just a place
or a location
It's a feeling,
a memory,
a sound,
sometimes a smell.
It can be someone you know
and the memory of their laugh.
It can be that feeling
rising in your throat
when you hug someone
you haven't seen in a while.
Or that sense of belonging you get
when you make
a new acquaintance
you didn't know you missed.
Or that farmstead
you long for.
When you're homesick
for the farmgirl life
hang laundry outside and
the scent will take you there.
Crochet at the end of the day,
and simple becomes
your sanctuary.
