It is later in the day

The snores of my husband

 are calling me

and Billy is sleeping next to him

on the floor

Such sweetness tonight

Unexpected truly

so doubly loved!

It is later in the day

and I cried this week end

because I dont like

not liking humans

I have become quite fierce about it

and it is not right

It is later in the day

and where was my peace of mind today?

Where was my compassion, my mind open

to new encounters and respect of others?

It is later in the day

I have prayed for remorse

and thanked God

for Thich Nhat Hanh!
