On The Edge Of A Day, 17

Growing pains, emotions, expressions; gnashing of teeth and grumbling words mumbled underneath a veil of frustration that knows not how to state it's case well in order to be heard.

Stomping feet, huffing off, slamming doors, hanging final statements framed in the sudden silence.

Cooling off, returning, slinking to the bedroom, alone, dark hallway.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tears, apologies, attempts at revisiting the issue.

Sleeping, calm returning, morning hello's, subdued.

Afternoon welcome, refreshed, perspective.


An errand, departing, returning, discovering a tangible apology, a written note, forgiveness requested again.

Open faced, restored, renewed, accepted, loved.
