Day 325: When A Heart Comes Home

 

---

∴

when a heart comes home
there is cause for much celebration,
for a heart’s journey
is always long
and often treacherous.

it’s true
that hearts must leave
from time to time,
else they grow stale
in their chambers,

but it is a dangerous trek
in a world so wild
and full

of things to break it

and things to fill it.

·

so if a heart makes it home,

wiser than when it left
and heartier for it’s travels,

one should dance
with abandon,
and drink
the best year in the house
with food
that’s even better,
and sing songs
to the children
who are watching,

and if the wild world scoffs,
do not pay them mind,

for no fool
can be made of you
whose heart,
once missing,

came home.

∴
