mind over matter never mattered
till separation reared an ugly head
stretching that connection from
pole to pole to me to you
was the only thread that held
and the only line I could follow to
figure what home was supposed to be…

at night I connected
the dots between the stars
creating a web, a safety net
to keep loneliness from crashing
like a compass they guided me to
you, my true north

home is where the heart is
you are holding mine
and I am holding to that
to keep me strong when you
are weak and keep my head
when you are losing yours

in those kaleidoscopic times
fragments of ourselves are scattered
yet as the earth slowly turns
the universe follows
our colours blend together
and everything falls into place
proving that we are stronger than
the sum of our parts
even a world away.
