It’s peaceful now. The afternoon is still.
The street is quiet. Voices very dear
Reach up the stairs, caress me like a thrill
From heaven. I am home and you are here.
Time scowls, weather frowns,
Nevertheless I hold your hand.
Though we were in different towns...
I got down from the train at Kew
Crossed the road to catch the bus
To home, the very heart of us...
