My Homeland (in Ten Lines or Under)

Write about your Homeland

My home land is inside of me.
It is of infinite rooms.
It is fortified and emblazoned by the life outside of me.

My homeland is a tapestry of tales
Of stories about choices.
About rooms explored and doors only opened a crack and then shut,
Or never opened at all.

My homeland,
Where life’s seductive dust and noise are relegated to a sane perspective.
