A New Normal

Home

Is it where I have been all my life?
The same room
The same kitchen
The same yard

The same life

Is it who I’m with?
My mom
My brother
My pets

Can it only describe one place?
Stationary and unmoving
No place just like it?

Or can it be reinvented?
Can moving be creating a new home?
Will change create a new home?
A new normal?

But what happens to the old?

Leaving behind the life I knew
What is next?
Where will I go?
How will I feel?

Can home be created a thousand times
A million times
In a lifetime?

The next home I go
Will be far away
Far away from the life I knew

Loss and change have taken people away
There is sadness and triumph
Who will fill my new home?

All of this
Change
Excitement
Fear
Will be used to create

A new life

A new normal

A new home

And it all starts with me
