Shelter
No matter what would shelter you in this moment -
The warmth of the night,
Or the silence of the darkening sea,
The cooling sand,
The quiet, almost not breathing,
Not squeaking with its floorboards
Wooden house -
Cottage, flat on the twenty-third floor,
The shining of the stars,
Someone's arms,
Someone's soul,
Or someone's memory -
This is not your home,
This is not your home yet,
And not a single person is home now,
No one.
All of us are only on our way home,
Even if not all of us know and feel it.
But I know, and it does not anger me or sadden me right now,
I am plainly overfilled with gratitude for this moment
And for this peace and shelter that you gave me
On this never-ending road.
Gratitude, for you being with me.
