Ease Your Soul/Dusting Duties

Elevate
Alleviate
Elude the dark small talk

enter the light
entrance the one who waits
listening to the words still wet on your tongue

elongate your vision
ease your soul onto the sofa
drink tea and hold hands

envision more for yourself
than dirty dishes in the sink
and what to make for dinner

embrace the possibility that
they expect more from you
than clean clothes
and a full lunch box

you are being watched
for what you bring into the room
their lives
the smiles and tears

staying close to hear their fears
standing by when they want to be alone
keeping the lines open

Love leads
grace dances
life heals
