Five Thoughts From Home

 My home
is internal
tranquility of mind
a personal sanctuary
watchful

watchful
northern wind blows
riot of windswept leaves
scattering around my being
changing

changing
southerly winds
singing into the light
contemplating a sea of blue

calmness
eastern sunrise
wonders of a new day
shades of pale gold and tinted pink
hope shines

hope shines
western sunset
closing the door of day
stars navigating the heavens
sweet dreams
