They stand at the entry, grateful, unknown. They’ve come far for this, on a journey not by choice yet still their own. The sound of people’s voices pluck strings in their soul. The light of the fireplace dances on the wall, painting hope, awakening dreams of a home that was never there, yet could be … now … if they allow it in.
Hearts quaking they knock
On the door
To their forever home.

While life streams by in flows of odd
And change evolves
Or roils
Or frightens,
Some truths remain forever uniform:
Love holds
Hate shatters,
Reason wizens
Division splatters,
Hope grows
Care matters.
