After

After

There is nothing so quiet
As a home when all are gone
When the winds of love blow 
The beloved down their homebound highway.

After the climb, the peak,
The plateau of joy and din,
There is nothing so quiet 
As a home when the beloved are gone.

Sun, oh you captured the fading glow well, there is a sense of sadness but oh the silence is also delightful, well done !
