A poem for the home |

Or traverse, or wander, or gather 

The launch of grassy knolls so farsighted in all weather

The great oak atrium open with its noir moods

Among the sentry park lanterns 

Each season a curtain freeing again

 Slow joy for a hearth of our own.

The sidewalks speak a kindness

Among this neighborhood’s habits

Passed on in the warm nightly haunts

Practiced at morning’s open doors

Where a history lives its next spoken day

Here, now ours, found, made and shared.

As proof we are offered this porch 

Where lounges a pleased god of shaded summer

Whose good humor winters dry, inviting

The refracting light of diamond glass 

Under that deep brow a casting of rainbows

From and for our home’s own eyes to see. 

Once within the mirrors look back in time

Where we dine now on resident memories

Times we imagine having been here way before 

Maybe always is voices in these paneled walls 

Gathered for new remembrances or old stories

Each and every also titled, Now let us begin.

A darkwood glint crosses the broad rooms

In league with the warm galley to nourish

A stately foyer with glad arrivals, who see it all 

And these stairs, landing a window in hand

Carrying these bedchambers to pass the night clouds

To wait for the soft church bell to thank and last.

Here a hundred wings overhead for a hundred years

The voice of craft gone ages still present in us

A vernacular we are lent and sharing

While living this place fully inside and out

Our house holds for us traces and makings

We came here to stop waiting to see.
