Come Home

A Dharma poem about finding whatever you need to be happy right here...in yourself.

Come Home

Come home now my dear,
come home and rest.
Yes, yes sweet one,
I’ve seen your brave questing into the future,
your tireless forays into the past.
But hush now, you can stop your restless searching for love is right here.

Fall into its sweet heaviness,
like the honey drunk bee surrenders
under the weight of its sun dust of pollen.
Into the deep cup of the rose, let go.
Be buoyed in the flow of the warm wave salt home,
you never truly left.
Be still
be at peace
just rest now,
love is here.
