Coming Back Home

Caught in the web, of maya illusions
Opaque veils of desire, dark delusion
Morbidity and joy, spinning around
Immersing attention, where fears abound
Nonchalant monk, as a silent witness 
Gyrates to music, of kind lovingness 
Blissful and quiet, as void in each storm
Alive and aglow, in joy currents warm
Cadence of love, brings the wayward back home
Kiss divine, caresses sensorium 
Home at last, within the cave of our heart
Osmotic bliss ignition, therein starts
Meet and greet love, before it is too late
Embrace bliss right now, whilst we meditate
