I'm far from home.
Yet I feel at home.
Home is here
Yet I sense it's way over there.
I perceive that I'm going insane.
However, I claim that I'm sane.
Frogs appear in my shower room.
But there are no frogs in my bathroom.
A monkey passes by my house.
He jumps on my roof with his spouse.
Nature is so inherent to my community.
Surprisingly, monkeys don't exist in my vicinity.
My comrades are scattered and separated by many miles.
Nevertheless, we call and share so many smiles.
The vibe during the call makes us at home.
We chat and remember how we would roam
The places around and beyond our home
I observe the mountain,
Though I am just living on the top floor and I am certain
I miss my home.
There is no place like home.
When I think I am in my abode
I question myself
Am I ever truly at home?
Where is my home?
Where is our home?
Am I far from home?
Yet I feel at home.
Home is here
Yet I sense it's way over there.
I perceive that I'm going insane.
However, I claim that I'm sane.

Where is our home?
Am I far from home?
