M.R.+Home+is+where+the+heart+is

This is the last line in the poem:

To signify to traveler that I live here in the wilderness awake and at home.

This line struck me as odd because if you are really comfortable in a place, why would you have to signify, to show someone, that you live in the place you say you do? Then at the same time, this line makes you feel almost peaceful, at least to me. The reason for the serenity within this line is because it is saying that he lives in the wilderness awake, so that he can see, so he can breathe freely, and at home is saying that that is the place he feels most welcome. You should feel most comfortable in the place you call home, because if not then why are you living in a place that gives you the creeps? At the same time, he is almost trying to convince someone that he is at home where he is in the wilderness. It is kind of saying that maybe he isn't as at home where he is as he is trying to make us think he is. Home is where your heart is and where the people you love are, not in a place you have to try to fit yourself in to.
