About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Prompt:
What is your idea of a cozy home? Write about this in your Blog entry today


----

A cozy home for me is a place where those who live in it live in peace without any strife but with cooperation and mutual respect. It is a haven where its occupants can just be themselves.

This is because coziness isn't what one sees and touches. It isn't a place that is showroom-perfect with the finest, expensive things. It can be imperfect, lived-in (tell me about it!), and its walls and furniture serve as a sanctuary. For example, a comfortable chair is just a chair until I settle into it to read. Plus, I know where my things are, even though, at times, I make myself crazy, forgetting where I put anything, even a minute ago.

Still, it is a soft landing, a gentle embrace, and a reminder to rest, reflect, and reconnect. As such, all furnishings and every aspect of the house tell me, its occupant, "You are home; you are safe; you can relax."

A cozy home also shows the personal touches of the people who live in it. Its objects tell stories with its photographs on display that capture shared memories and souvenirs. These aren't just decorations, but they are the artifacts of a life, filled with meaning and history. I can say this because, at my age, my artifacts abound. *Rolling*

More than anything, my cozy home is also about the atmosphere where every detail, no matter how small, whispers to me the message of "Welcome. It is here, where you belong."
