Lost in a whirlwind


Take me home to that sanctuary
of a mindful thought and practice.
A place of revelation, hope and potential.

A place of joy and pain too of course,
but not out of the celebration and victories
of that horror of wars and the like.

Violent men and women struggle
at that gate for a greedy share
only to discover end time is always a threat
as it gathers momentum in the ages that follow –
generations I am saddened to declare.
