Rosy morning sunlight scatters
as I walk the path of memories,
yearning to recover what is lost.

You must sense it too;
we have known each other
in other worlds,
perhaps past lifetimes.

A loss that aches, buried
deep within my marrow;
yet some ancient part
of me remembers what even
the absence of memory
cannot erase.

You walk beside me and know all of
my shadows, sending light to the dark
corners of my heart.

With you I am home.
Across dimensions, light years,
the expanse of time;
wherever you are, I am home.
I know it to be true.

    “there is a knowingness
    when I am with you that not even the
    absence of memory can repress.”

    Yes! This is beautiful, and the music is perfect for it!

      Thank you so much, Ashley. Yes, I often feel sad when I think of Home, which is probably what inspired this poem. May you find what Home is for you in 2025! Thank you for visiting.

        I understood it as metaphorical 😊 I feel similarly, often displaced even amongst my small circle of friends and career. Unsure of where I’m heading but trusting in “my guides” to show me the way.
