you enter a room

you enter the room.

it's the same room you've been

walking into

for years.

many seasons have passed

since the first day

you came

into this house.

you sit in a chair and watch

the trees.

you smell the change.

you hear the wind.

feel the air through 

the open window.

you've entered this room

so many times

with others.

so many times alone.

it has become your place

of refuge.

of thought and desire.

of past sorrow and healing.

it has become

a true home, a place of joy,

a place

you may never leave.

you enter the room,

it's the same room you've

been walking into

for years.
