When Home Isn't Home It's getting colder now and life just doesn't seem the same, there's nothing left for me here, no one I can call by name. You broke my dream catcher and replaced it with hate, you called again last night but it was a little too late. I'm not on the edge anymore. 'When home isn't home, you leave'. I won't cry, I may even dance because you stole my need to grieve.  Call me a quitter, a walkaway. These days, lots of people roam when there's just nothing left... when home isn't home. ~ |

hmmmmm... new beginnings depend on endings. Don't you just love it when one door closes and suddenly the all the locks are broken letting in blue sky. It's a little blinding when you've lived in the dark, but eye's and heart's both adjust! Loved this write. Klassy  |

I really loved this poem. Because it's hard to find yourself in that situation, and it's a hard to journey to get back that home. |

Honesty is your stong point and here you could not be more honest...it is a fine poem of how we think about things..how we monitor the changes around us...today things have a strange look to them..tommorow? Well that is another day..trust in your survival talents and also in the love of God..thank you for this sad but also beautiful write... Goldenrose. ''As the deer pants for steams of water, so my soul pants for you O God'' |

Dixie...I may be wrong but reading between the lines I get the feeling that you are leaving us again, but this time because YOU want to. If this is true take care my dear friend and drop me an e mail...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Dixie - I know first hand what it's like to have a home that's not a home and it's certainly not great but glad you are staying around at your Pip home. Good write! |

I am sorry for the pain even though this is an old poem. I particularly love the last 2 lines which are very typical of your very mature wisdom, in spite of your youth. I understand the need to grieve, but in his cruel theft of that, he left behind a freedom for you to be your wonderful self. - Owl |

yes, Dixie..an old saying comes to mind, a house is made of brick and stone, but a home is made, of love alone.. Yes, so easy to have a home and not be home. Nicely written. |
