Poetry On Odyssey: Home For The Holidays

There's nothing better than going home to open arms.

There’s a thin line out on the horizon where the

Sky meets the sea and they so

Effortlessly unite to compose the

Entirety of our world.


It’s a concept so simple, so utterly

Real, that two natural masses call

The same Earth

Home.


A gentle silence touched the

Cold, dark air as we drove past

Our favorite restaurants, boutiques,

And old memories made.


Soft lights hung from the trees and lit

The night sky, illuminating the dark and

Welcoming the season of

Travel and friends.


Their eyes are bright and their smiles

Wide – there’s a distinguished

Warmth in the way they hold

Each other close.


The air inside the home is filled with the

Scent of holiday food and treats full of

Sugar – some of the best memories

Are made over meals.


Hellos and Goodbyes are more commonly

Spoken after each new year, after

Each person leaves, after each

One of us grows.


It’s a time to say thanks, to love, and

To give. It’s a time to remember the good

That you have – what lies

On your own horizon.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
