Coming home

In troubled times I return
To a place where comfort and steady joy prevails
A lap of calm calls out to me
Come take shelter within me
Thoughts are your enemy dear uneasy mind
Its unfair this disappointment one more time
Alas! don't forget how beautiful simplicity is
I return to my core of being
My home beckons me.

BlAh...

The butterflies fluttered in the warm air
Frangipani in all its glorious colors
Inviting as it may be the blue sky and the grass
Oh, how perfect can this be of a blissful existence!
I was convinced until you said that it was just a dream,
And there, didn't look me in the eye...
How far away you seemed, a line became a dot
My rapture vanished like the smoke.
