In Your Arms, I Find Home

By Raiyan Rashky

IN YOUR ARMS, I FIND HOME

where i belong
the world is vast, relentless, ever turning 
but in your presence, time slows
and i am no longer lost 

i kneel before you, not in surrender
but in the quiet knowing that i have arrived 
that after every long day, every restless 
night
i will always find my way back to you 

you are the hush of the evening 
the warmth of a light left on for me 
the gentle breath of a place that feels like
forever

my hands are tired, my heart is heavy
but in your touch, i am weightless
here. against you, 1 lay down my worries
and in your arms, i find home
