Home - a poem

My heart is torn betwixt two places
And yet I cannot go
The path once traveled
Lies in wait
And beckons me back home
But here I find the worlds not there
And there the things not here
So as I live another day
My heart goes to and fro
I'll brave a path that winds and bends
To distances not taken
And find my place in lives now shared
In values not yet shaken
So onward to this home I lack
I stay another day
Knowing that when time has come
My other place awaits
