I remember we used to gather there, all of us
waiting for Mother to finish the cooking.
Stories of school, and work, and life floating by
all around us – through the seams of our Souls
This was our haven – my haven
I needn’t worry about anything
Here, my existence felt inconsequential,
free of burden
And then a bird’s coo would stir me
back to reality –
