Homecoming

Heaven is compassion where kindness is real reaping the soul and its treasures homeward to mind no clever book needed to uncover truth and the seal just complete wholeness and essence softly entwined No war to end all wars no Faustian hellfire’s smouldering Phoenix can rest in Peace and Icarus requires no wings philosophy reigns over all terror of Armed Forces’ soldering pure reason dances with feelings from no attached strings Infinite waves assemble driftwood and sea shells into a beach hut of shelter for poetry rhythm and rhyme good witches dance in whacky trousers feathers and bells soft sand with no hour glass chants soft wind’s quiet chime No abused virgins waiting for taking in sexualized plight nails from crosses removed with wounds healing not scarred Karma has settled recycling contentment not righteous but right enemies befriended instead of being torched feathered and tarred Deep conversations in silent all-knowing stream no apps no fake social media only one gentle source a chorus of solitude in strong union of thriving esteem a blossom one conscious river effecting one cause Whirlpools' sweet currents and currant cinnamon flavour white Nirvana abound blue flag beaches wild waterfalls tall rainbows’ prisms harvesting moons whole galaxies to savour a canopy of one giant fig tree of guidance for each and for all 26th August 2018
