Heart Beat

Silence as I wait for James to come home with a snack. Probably fries. Sitting reading, enjoying the moment. A little drink hitting my head and the light tingle as I feel my heart beat. The neighbors playing music. Mormons they will tern it off soon and put there son and his friend to bed. I can hear my house humm, the dishwasher ticking as it heat dries. And a thumping that can only be discibed as a heart beat. My home pulsing in rhythm and peace. Alive with us resting insides its walls.
