Sweet Satisfaction

“Some people don’t understand that sitting in your own house alone in peace, eating snacks and minding your business is priceless!” ,,,,,,,,,Tom Hardy

I love the peace I’ve found, the space

I’ve carved out in the middle of calm

And chaos where I go in and out

Depending on the need

I need……..

That place where I commune with the

Birds and there’s no arguing or

Fighting. A place where my spirit is

quiet and free

I get to decide

What fills the next moments without

Pressure or expectation

I need………….

My place of safety. Far away from

The craziness of the streets of

Brooklyn. I love my hometown and

It’s the perfect place to be from….

With all its history and reverence

I’m going back there someday to be

Buried near those who have

Gone on before me but

For now —– give me my little “dale”

Where the sun rises on the front side

Of the house covering me in warmth

No matter the temperature outside

I need……………..

That place where memories are good

It’s my space where as I

approach the house,

My eyes don’t well up with tears. There is

No ache or longing or loss – there is no fear,

there is no pain

I need……………

Only joy and comfort and flowers in every

Room if I want.

A place where no one tells me how to feel or

What to care about – where I can sing out loud

If I want to or not …..

and when I’m tired at night

And fall into that giant king size bed where

I sleep right on the edge…..my dreams

Envelope me in safety and security until

The dawn of a new day……

How sweet it is!!
