"Evening falling-a soft lamenting"


Evening's Rituals


You can feel the quiet
as it seeps from our home.
Gone are evening's rituals
splashing bath water
joyful squeals.
My hands that once held
Goodnight Moon
now fumble to find their purpose.
I have become 
accustomed to the silence
that is broken 
only by the welcome sound 
of Barn Owl's screech.
