October Morning

The sky slowly lightens, chasing away the night. Dark clouds hang in the sky, marching slowly across the wide expanse...slowly they pass, with the speed likened to a child dragging their books off to school when they know a test is to be taken after making the choice to play instead of study.

Lamp light casts its final glow of the morning as breakfast is eaten. Chores are done, time for food and conversation. But, all too soon Emery leaves for work and I have time to tackle the dishes of last nights family meal. There is something easy and gentle about this day.... it feels so nice.
