I relish the quiet, The lonely quiet, The persistent, Insistent, Beneficent Quiet. An infrequent guest, This exceptional quiet. A novelty, An innovation, A comprehensively new creation. To what do I owe this Unexpected visit My sweet and silent visitor? More often than not Do you make yourself scarce. I long for the quietude, The soundless, The stillness, The taming of tongues, The zipping of lips. It's an impossible request, Especially at home. But for now, I'll savor the silence, Partake in the peace. For in this nugget of time My family has left, And I am left In the solace of solitude.

Home Alone
I relish the quiet, The lonely quiet, The persistent, Insistent, Beneficent Quiet. An infrequent guest, This exceptional quiet. A novelty, An innovation, A comprehensively new creation. To what do I owe this Unexpected visit My sweet and silent visitor? More often than not Do you make yourself scarce. I long for the quietude, The soundless, The stillness, The taming of tongues, The zipping of lips. It's an impossible request, Especially at home. But for now, I'll savor the silence, Partake in the peace. For in this nugget of time My family has left, And I am left In the solace of solitude.
Always so loud in my house. Except for the times when my family is gone.
