What's Missing?

Something’s different 
but not amiss ~

All chairs, pillows, tables, 
even clutter still in place ~ maybe a bit dusty,
gardens still growing
tomatoes hanging 
wait to redden in the sun

But 
something’s different

Quick! Look around
maybe the laundry’s not done
no ~ empty laundry basket
a window left open?
no ~ stuffy and close in here

Hmmm.
Something really is different!
a quick look in the mirror
gray hair flying away as usual
earrings on ~ clothing, maybe a bit drab, 
but neat and tidy

Sigh.
just an ordinary sigh?
not a big sigh of exasperation?
just a sigh!

That’s what it is!
no worries!
anxiety has flown the coop
calm and passion simmers softly in my soul.
Wow!

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”
~ Winston S. Churchill
