After the Visit

1 Comment

The house settles back to its familiar self,

washer chugging, dryer spinning,

stillness pervades,

calmness returns.

 

Lying in bed remembering sounds of Ipads,

lab’s silky brow,

puppy licks, warmth,

grandsons, grand dogs,

 

Signed baseballs, shirts from Squirrels’ and Nationals’ games.

Missing chaos,

grateful for peace

at the same time.
