Vase

Where we love is home-

home that our feet may leave, 

but not our hearts.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Soft morning light falls

Across my table

Homely, homemade, homespun, 

homegrown,  

Home sweet home

Filled with things I love:

Wicker baskets,

Old vases, wood, cloth,

Books, babies, 

Fleeting flowers, plaids.

Light sweetens simple 

Everyday things.
