Up in the clouds

Wooden flooring, lush green below, sitting on a yellow swing, perched on the 24th floor,

Almost touching the skies, in sync with my core. 

The green may seem unreal to you, 

But it's carefully put together by us two.

 

Every color, niche and decor you see,

Is a touch of our reflection with elegance and simplicity. 

Family meals, the playful furbaby, the chatting teenagers in code,

Celebrations around the fire place or working in that private abode. 

The evening coffee together or prayer time rituals has to be there,

The weekly Thursday special meal is an experimental affair! 

It's not an everyday feeling that one would know,

A cherished contentment of something hard to show. 

Every corner of this house has something of me,

Every detail has a thought that I envisioned to see. 

Battled with the experts on their rigid plan,

How will they define, what is meant for my clan. 

Today as I walk through every room, here I see,

Some beauty with many slices of our family. 

Next door here, where my mum lives, push it open,

Always welcome is my safe haven. 

Made this home after making two decades of memories in our first nest,

Every learning there taught us to cherish the best. 

A large community thrives here for sure,

Welcoming and friendly with much to cheer. 

Hard to imagine there is a hustle bustle around us here,

We are nestled in a sanctuary that is calm and clear. 

Am not sure what the future holds for us,

But I am grateful to paint this canvas and that's a plus. 

With dreams and memories that we hope to cherish,

Several decades in this home I wish.

Imperfections, madness and chaos, which is mine to care,

But these will always be my family's fare.

Did I dream for a different life here,

Not in this lifetime for sure! 

Does my contentment seem to lack ambition in your eyes,

I hold only my relationships in lows and highs.
