My House, My Home
Spackled memories desperately fill faint, familiar dreams of the excitement of planning and expectation.
Untold feelings, like cement forms, create loosely connected foundations; not part of the original design.
Like a specter of structural scaffolding they support a vision of what would have been but was not.
A home that was envisioned to withstand the storms of the world is found flooded from within.
The rafters filled with the sound of constant dripping as the walls sag and ceiling peels amidst the storms.
Yet to the surprise of all, it does stand and becomes a home and with it for a season dwell the blessed.
