The wind rips by
The tall firs and cedars
Ocean waves pound the shore
Heavy rain splats the darkened windows
A hot bath
Lemongrass soap
A book that inspires and grounds
Children tucked in
Asleep after a day of creative pursuits
I practice tai chi
Silent
Silent
I get into bed
Seems bigger alone
A gentle windy draft curls itself
Around my head
Caressing my cheek
Like my beloved would do
If he were here.

Are you not relieved and feeling positive about things? You must be ! The unknown is known and not that scary really. Yes no?
