I sit, sipping warmth
\nAs the morning sun falls across the\u00c2\u00a0stairs
\nYou are arriving soon, but not yet here
\nI wait to see you
\nTo meet you
\nThis house, made to be a home,<\/p>\n
Quiet<\/p>\n
Waiting<\/p>\n
Full, but empty without you
\nOur final piece
\nThe familial puzzle nearly complete
\nThe picture on the box finally visible<\/p>\n
We wait<\/p>\n
I gulp the remaining life from my mug
\nI watch the shadows play across the room
\nThe marching band, in the distance,
\nHeralding your arrival
\nUnwitting messengers of fate<\/p>\n
I listen for your knock at the door
\nThe telltale struggle to enter<\/p>\n
Still I wait
\nIn silence
\nBut soon
\nSoon<\/p>\n
I wait<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
