Analysis of A Moment of Home



Drops of water, dropping gently, drip on down my spine.
A warmness in my neck, my back, is growing in my mind.
The air is growing thick and sweet, and puts my heart at ease.
With walls, my friends, on all four sides, it’s safe for me to be.
My body and my soul are free, to breathe the thick, sweet air.
And let my troubles wait outside, they’re better off out there.
