home

In a place, now far away
(but I remember it like yesterday)
Is home.


There
The dictionary is very simple
It has words like
Happy
Hungry
Sad
Angry
Real
Feel
Think

But not words like
Right
Wrong
Proper
Should

I have forgotten
The road to that house
But not
What it looked like
From the inside – Happy. And Real.


There, one day..
Insh-e-allah
I will find my way again
Or perhaps
Guided by a guardian angel
Will wander onto that road again
And step
Through the ever familiar door


That house
Is the hope
I live on.
It has to exist.
