Coming home in the rain
To my home again
My kids, my wife.
The heart of my life
I feel each drop’s a kiss
Not given those who miss
The warmth of folks,
Familiar jokes…
I’m living again.
It’s more quiet than I’ve ever known
No cat stirs, wasp or fly.
At least for a while...
She will find the flowers soon
Catch them suddenly – pinks –
In a glance, surprised, as she enters...
