The Weight of "Home"

You never realize how much the word “home” weighs on your mind until the place you have labeled such is gone. The burning of my “home” left me little more than scars and memories and a pair of pauldrons that may well be the last remaining “living” branches.

Their enchanted leaves change with the season but never die, the last of their autumnal colors withering away for a bareness indicative of the coming winter.

I find myself touching them often, wishing I was “home” and safe in its branches once more. A peace and calm I have yet to find again.
