David Taylor - Coming Home

What is it about coming home
a familiar sight or sound or smell,
a place we know so well?
Home is where the heart is,
the saying might be true
but deep inside I know that
it cannot be the way
the sages felt as they roamed
spreading what the scriptures say.
Heart is where the home is
we take it with us everywhere
that place with deep contentment
that we look for here and there.
