A longing for home,
but home is more than just friends,
family and sunshine.
Home is a feeling,
Home is a smell, a flavour,
Home is culture and a default state of mind
that we all share and struggle to explain to outsiders.
Home is a certain brand of loudness.
Home is a a welcoming warmth, one you can expect
even from a distant acquaintance
Home is a team, where we look out for one another.
Home is where time is spent and not kept.
Home is more than the sum of its parts.
