I am Home

Quilted patterns, deep blue

colour of my soul.

Sinking into sleep

to the sound of droplets,

tapping on the window.

I am home.

-

Fairytale cliffs, faraway lands.

Cows staring into the soul,

sparkling jewels instead of eyes.

Freshly clean winds,

from sea-level heights.

I am home.

-

The River Thames speaking,

under bridges, crashing waves.

Musicians throw notes

by the walkway into air.

The soft summer breeze says,

I am home.

-

Jungle scenes, open wings

bright celeste, red, green.

Parakeets and macaws,

soaring into sight.

Tropical rain, exotic delight.

I am home.

-

Ocean turquoise, powdered sand,

a golden sunset glow.

Sweet taste of coconut,

hands clasped,

birds singing songs of love.

I am home.

-

Sparkling white peaks,

winter's rare gift.

Icing sugar to life's dessert.

Hot chocolate, tingling hands.

By the crackling fire at night,

I am home.

-

Pan dulce, fresh coffee.

Garden flowers, purple clouds.

Book of love,

words resting on my chest

and nurturing my mind.

I am home.

-

They matter not,

the places where I am.

When my heart drums steady

and air fills my lungs.

When nature’s force is grounding

and divine light warm inside.

-

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

I am home.
