The Syllables of Home

Sometimes faith changes without disappearing.

Sometimes trust breaks without noise.

The Syllables of Home is not a poem of rebellion. It is a poem of steadiness after fracture.

The Seer rises without spectacle. He no longer asks for throne or hymn. He asks only for peace. But beneath that quiet request is something firmer: a warning.

When sacred trust is traded, something deeper is lost than buildings or rituals.

The earth forgets how to speak belonging.

The image of “syllables” suggests that home is spoken into existence through faithfulness. When vows thin, language thins. When language thins, meaning drifts.

This poem stands in that space.

Not bitter.

Not pleading.

Clear.
