Motes of dust, Lazy, unemployed, Catch the sunlight on their way From somewhere To somewhere else. I am alone. Not existentially alone. Physically, Soulfully alone. Joyful in the quiet restfulness. I lay now in an empty bed, Full up on television gluttony and cheezits, And savor the quiet. And in my reveling, secretly I miss you. Home is where you are. So I will tend this place And busy myself with lefts and rights Until you return to me.

Alone
Motes of dust, Lazy, unemployed, Catch the sunlight on their way From somewhere To somewhere else. I am alone. Not existentially alone. Physically, Soulfully alone. Joyful in the quiet restfulness. I lay now in an empty bed, Full up on television gluttony and cheezits, And savor the quiet. And in my reveling, secretly I miss you. Home is where you are. So I will tend this place And busy myself with lefts and rights Until you return to me.
