A Poem ~ Space within the Space

Space within the Space

We wander some then rest our weariness with family

Memories flood back to the shared table, the shared food

 the shared bed

Our families are sometimes close, sometimes far

but only a heartbeat away

One shared breath with family

A routine is built with family, a sacred time with family

A base, a nest with family

Such is life that families hold close, then draw away

Shared space within space with family

Family is Family, a starting point of life

and then we say goodbye and hello again

physical into spiritual we embrace each part of family

A true circle of life entering each new stage with family
