the feeling of quiet.

Our house feels quiet.
The only sound now is the snap-click of a record ending and the scratch-slide of my pen.
Holiday lights illuminate the living room perfectly; the plants, the couch, the dog and the paintings all wrapped up in the softness of shag carpet underfoot. 
A royal blue pair of costume sunglasses hang from the lampshade, the only remaining evidence of the state of this same room just 24 hours ago. 

Now I sink into these couch cushions, slowly inhaling the heavy peaceful calm.


In through the nose, out through the mouth. Repeat.
