We have no need for a large home
filled with ornate décor,
surrounded by manicured perfection.
We breathe easily
in our modest comfy home.
When he returns from work,
we sip a cup of Turkish coffee
with perhaps a little something sweet.
Catching up on each other’s day
and other items of interest
nearly always ends with something like,
“How did this much time get away?
I blame you. 😉”
We are each other’s solace.
He is a soft, satiated quiet over me
in this often-deafening world.
I hope I am his.
