I shut my eyes
And settle in
Familiar creaks and sighs
From the house within
The distant night guard's rattle
A car driving its owner to bed
The muted rustle of pigeons
Perched precariously
On the ledge
At the edge
Of my senses.
I'm home again.
Lovely, languid reading, AD. I loved the wistfulness in most of the pieces. And absolutely lovedddd 'Home'. I wish I had the courage to commit to a blog. Maybe someday. Love Pia

Jim Morrison...........don't know why this reminded me of him. Maybe sounded a little spaced out or relaxed. But nice!
