Coming Home

The sun has fallen round and ripe,
turned the sky to olive and pimento,
then gone to pot liquor,
now chilled in the fabric of cold hands
lighting fires from the yards of summer,
the neighborhood takes on the fragrance
of burning wood,
apple, cedar, pine.

The lane is lit
and swaths the gardens in magic,
and I can hear the piano
although no one plays it.

The sounds from the kitchen are music,
the knife cuts a perfect note
and the glass and silverware sing.

So tender is the love that surrounds,
as a fragile paw clicks across the tile
I breathe in my lingering chaos
and blow it out where it disappears
into the opening where love abides,

and this is coming home.

(smiles) Home is where the heart is indeed, and it is such a lovely feeling to feel laughter and cheer all throughout the season in the house. (kiss on cheek) Your words always sing in symphony, I love it! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Sounds like a wonderful place, Martie. I'm sure you would settle for nothing less....
