poem “Finally Found Home” a poem about the peace and tranquillity of laying under the stars when there is less civilization and the stars are so beautiful and serene that you are so restful that a deer can walk by unafraid, referencing the Janet Kuypers love poem “Seven and Seven, plus Eighteen” By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers

Finally Found Home
Janet Kuypers
4/12/23 (referencing the poem “ Seven and Seven, plus Eighteen”)
We were outside at night in Fair Hope
Under an intricate quilt of stars in the sky
Lying on the grass, stars blanketing us
Resting my head on your shoulder
Feeling I finally found home
You signaled in silence as a leg-length away
A deer walked by, unnoticing, unconcerned—
Then saw me, stopped... and sprinted away
Was it fear they felt—
For I fear they feel it from me, and
Never were they more safe
Because looking back, all I could think was
Why does a perfect moment have to end
