(Where our hearts beat.)

Where Home is, Still

Our family
home
where we reside
where our hearts beat
where our blood melds
flowing inward
always
collective
together

The kindred ties that bind
some ties eventually loosen
our blood flows outward
onward
pooling beyond a great wall
miles long
decades wide
a chasm
apart

Time
occasionally an ally
erodes the great wall
a day long coming
familial blood flows
inward, again
where our hearts beat
where our hearts are
where home is, still
