Home - La casa - der Haus

Home - la casa - der Haus

Ich fühle mir nicht zu Hause
E questa casa non e` la mia casa

The Home, the transient metaphorical word for describing where you belong.

They say Home is where the heart is,
But the heart is in the body and do you feel like you belong?

Two inches into your chest, bypassing skin, muscles, tendons, and bones,
Does your heart feel like it's beating out "belong"?

Das ist mein Haus, aber es ist kein Haus
Dov'e` la mia casa? Perche` la mia casa non sta li.

My house of a body is doomed to wander - I cannot belong because I do not know how.

If Home is where the heart is, and your heart is in your body, then syllogistic logic reasons that your body is Home.

Ma il mio corpo non e` una casa- it is not a house.

In the strictest of words, my body is a mobile temple of living breathing flesh that doesn't know the word belong.

To live is to exist, but existence does not guarantee living,
Just like a beating heart does not guarantee belonging.

Because Home, der Haus, la casa - la casa non e` tutto il mondo - the house is not the whole world.

But I plan to find it. To belong is the goal to comfort my weary soul.
