Dusk illuminated a small window
Silhouetting a lamp
Lighting the way
To love and respect

Warming a path
Of return
To a lost one
Following a heart’s desire

Calling light
As a beacon
To echo through the darkness
Through the torrent

Sending a signal
To break
The quietness
Of one who waits

Breathing life
Fulfilment
To spirit his strength
To rest in your shadow

Matching your feelings
And understanding
Welcoming the return
Of one he lost

passing shadows

A Suetang poem may be think of a character in a Charles Dickins book and I found it bittersweet writing it - it is not the easiest I've written although I usually write something banal soon afterwards like the sweet after the medicine

state of marital bliss

When it is time
   to wake the house from her rest
I find I'm saddened
   for it's this time I like the best.
The quiet of 3am
   offers tranquility
far more soothing than
   a salty piece of beef jerky!

I enjoyed your poem.  Just this morning when I was romping through the house in search of a midnight snack, I paused to enjoy the stillness of what is normally a landing strip for chaos (I have 3 boys, 11, 6, and 2, who usually have their friends in and out all day long)...anyhow, I thought in that moment of quiet that I should create a poem of this resting home, and how much I enjoy her.  Thanks to your poem this morning, I was relieved of that duty!

Excellent breakfast for me this morning, dear, and I thank you!

A quiet thought of speak, this.
Very pleasant in its quiet undertones, it is.
