A place
You can sit
And do nothing
And be happy
Is home

Yes, sometimes more so than "home"!

I think we always look for such places around us, though we can find it also within.

Intense.

And "home" can well be
a state of mind.

Enjoyed, John. Thank you!

Yes, "home" can be literal or metaphorical which gives the poem extra resonance and meaning.

Enjoyed the read,

Yes it most certainly is. Love the truth and simplicity.
