What are Homes for us?

A poem retrospecting it

As I wonder what our houses or homes
mean to us?

Homes that we have lived
through our journey in life
from womb to the grave

does it have only material significance
or does it have a deeper influence?
a permanence or spiritual effect?

in the house, we live our minute details
etching a framework of what we do
or what we can do, and
how we are people around us

it tends to help us divide our life
from the comfort & familiarity to otherwise
from the warmth of family to the world outside
from being vulnerable in your adobe,
to the strong self, we portray outdoors

after all happy economical yet comfortable home
is what builds a healthy mind, and body in us
making all the difference in our lives
why don't seem to recognize how they shape us?
