Something

 

I have to think of something,
something intellectual ,

something sparkling with wit,
something with depth 

                and substance.

But all I can think of is
the slippers on my feet,

the cat curled up in his favourite chair,
the hum of the dishwasher,

the photos of family on the ledge above the fireplace
On second thought ~ they are

the brilliant somethings I was yearning for
Family and home, comfort and warmth.

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”

~ Dr. Seuss
