Five-point retrouvaille

(Artwork done last month)

Five-point retrouvaille

The warmth;
warm milk, fruits, eggs and stories stir
aroma, a place of
deep livilence—
forget.

Forget 
the conditional, if and but
love; move, the sky is pink;
songs of freedom, 
stargaze.

Stargaze,
the shine in the eyes is stardust;
reminiscence of the 
eternal home,
calmness.

Calmness 
of a corner full of colours 
and words; sky is deep blue
dulcet poesy,
halcyon.

Halcyon 
homecoming to the heart, a place 
to rest, to know the self.
Songs of freedom;
The warmth.

Written for MTB: Five Leavings from Home where you are asked to write a crown cinquain.
