The sweet sound of silence
Lingers in the air
As the house is emptied
For all but me
A time to relax
And take things easy
Do things at my pace
And not deal with demands
Music starts to fill the silence
As the beat has me moving,
Shaking my stress away
And i am at total peace
Four o clock rolls around
Things get a little stressful
But only barely
As little brother comes home
Reading is his favorite hobby
As is sitting and listening
To his older sister
As she engulfs them into a faraway land
But all the while
A sense of relaxation is present
But when the phone rings
Is when the tension comes knocking again
But give it a while
And the tension simmers
And eventually
It once again goes away
As we go our separate ways
