Flora is writing from experience, so the poem has dark undertones, yet at the same time offers her appreciation of the safety we all feel from things we know, people we know and, above all, home. I'm not a poet either, but I don't think you have to be to relate to a piece of work such as this is. I like your analogy of some people living their lives in a 'comatose' way. Thank you for commenting.

That being said,it almost seemed like the writer was writing about what it felt like to be in a coma. What's interesting about that, is that many people could be considered living in a "coma" in their day to day lives as well.
