ages ago, when the day started with the break of dawn and chirping of birds, when sundown was the time to prepare for the period of rest as if to calm unrest, and like the birds, we flew back to our nests to find a pillow to lay our heads in a place we called home, was it too simple? as for the now, the today emerges as a stranger and we are disguised by our own makings, hiding guilt behind make-believe stain-free masks, and yet we fight to find the calming breeze each of our passing days we seem to await the special moment of lucidity in silence that fractures our forced social sense and disrobes layers of pretense did we have to make this so difficult? how do we try to build a structural box with four walls and a roof and yet expect to call it home? where is homeliness gone? questions without answers in the absense of clarity and that's when the irony dawns that we are all caught, trapped in a web! it seems to be time to wake up arise!

Home is what we make it...a haven from the world at large...or a switching station where you are just passing trains rushing off to who knows where...my home is a haven for my boys and I...and every other kid in the neighborhood....they know they are safe and welcome here... |

home is where the heart is, I guess. we seem to await the special moment of lucidity in silence that fractures our forced social sense and disrobes layers of pretense some beautifully crafted images here. Well observed my friend. "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |
