Retirement

Someday I will find my place to rest My body begging not to roam In a garden weeping wisteria I build my hallowed home Hope has always seemed unkind With the type of life I've lead Yet she's always stayed beside me A skin I cannot shed I close my eyes and see that room My father smiles in the sun I tell him he's a basking cat He tells me not to run I rely on my best friend's laughter (I have from the very start) So content to seek no lover As I have no lovers heart It takes a week to remember to sleep And many more to dream Though stillness never suited me There's joy in the reprieve
