“Peace, that was the other name for home.” Kathleen Norris
I passed the house at number sixteen,
it was still
as it usually is,
no one stirring,
everything in its place,
unlike the mess that is mine,
and I got to wondering,
who are they,
do they see the sky like I do?

Yes, it is most difficult, no wonder too that we struggle to bring peace to other contexts.

Sigh. History seeps into present and we struggle with closure, maybe that’s where the cracks start. Thank you for your poem, its good reflection for me.
