Coming Home

There is nothing like it.
The warm relief of coming home
in spring. The stillness 
of late afternoon; the living room

the colour of the almost-setting sun.
I live for the quiet greeting
of empty rooms and open windows. 
Invitations of birdsong and light.

And when the rain comes,
and I am behind these walls,
I will welcome the thunder
like it is the only god I know.
