Quietly, I pack the house up
the Activia in the trash
down the hatch
the lights all extinguished
the reading done
10:30 is when I turn out the lights
Little Mocha sleeping on a pillow beside me
Asleep for hours
Until Midnight when I get up
The cat wakens also
She is always by my side
In the middle of the night
My trusted companion
In the day not too far from reach
Quietly, I dim the lights
Its been a lovely day
My dear friend Aya for tea
My dear Dr. Chi and Julie hoovering over me
Like incredible watch dogs
I feel better now
I feel the strength returning to my life
I stand at attention to the rising of the sun
I wait for the house to quietly say goodnight
I am not afraid to be alone
The burning has almost stopped
a minor miracle I am witnessing
Just as the end of the day there is peace
love tranquility
trust of oneself
One more evening.
Quietly the house says "good night."
