Love Poem: Homecoming

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
