As the life evaporates,
The brew soothes the soul.

Far-hilled source of all troubles dissipates.
Closer illuminates
O'er world, uprooted, this fair sign of hope:
Rainbow; a smile creates!

Going Home

My comfort is found
In the breaking of my heart

A homecoming of sorts 

The place I was born

My one constant in this life

So please believe me
When I say 
Goodbye

lily of the valley
divine cluster of bells
charisma on a stem
its perfume awakens nature
and announces spring's
long awaited homecoming

There's a burst of mellow sunshine, the hour of my return
after many nights, dark and sable, spent in longing for my home
Bees buzz in the rose garden, and soon to their honeycomb

Belated Homecoming

Blurred
as in a distant dream,

we recall that our sojourn
through life in this our world

is but a belated homecoming
after our faintly-remembered exile,

following our half-forgotten
pilgrimage.

Winter Welcome

Winter kisses the doorstep
with a quiet smile in icy depths;
branches bow low, as if nodding my return,
while frost tiptoes on the windows.
Smoke curls like an embrace—
I breathe it in: warm welcome Home .

Guimaras Island

Thousands of years float by, 
seen by ever-seeing mind's eye:

     verdant earth, 
     infinite sea,
     vast skies of 
     lapis lazuli, 

     tales of leaving, 
     of homecoming,
     songs of birth, 
     poems of rebirth!

Homecoming

when I came back home
nineteen-eighty-six
Mom says not normal
making niece so scared
even my best friend
said I was bad
making me sad
now times have changed
new family
with new friends
and new trends
now I write
poems
latest

Homecoming

suns warm today
light breeze
I see it there
in the trees

rock the cradle
guide the ill
hand on hand
hand to hold

sleep within
sleep without
dinner cooking
no - no shout

humming house
now just waiting
until I see you
come home.

Premium Member Yellow Cottage

Cottage door open
A blooming path welcomes you
back home once again
Hollyhocks have been calling
with the scents of the roses

Warm nights are mellow
and bluebirds fly at the moon
Your letter brought joy
saying you'd be coming soon
Yellow cottage awaits you

My Life As An Oxymoron

I was a joke in their slam books
Until a new wardrobe changed my looks
The cool kids called me “pretty ugly”
Now I’m Homecoming royalty 

I was a nerd in the eighth grade
Now I’m the it girl in a parade 
Waving to the whole neighborhood
Triumph boiling in my blood

The Homecoming

THE HOMECOMING

For the first time
I’m in the space where I need to be.
Whatever I look at, 
Is just as I always imagined it could be.
Now I see all as it was meant to be.
Wherever I go, I know that, in this open space, of my mind
At last, I have finally come home.
