Family Affair

the wind blows in, and as i lie in bed, i smell the breeze,
and sense the solemn music that whispers below;
i peek from the stairway to watch my parents, as Montivani 
invites them to dance ceremoniously in the living room;
they whisper and giggle to one another about the happiness in their lives;
as i sink into tranquility,i sense the music playing as it resonates louder 
and louder in my mind;

the curtains whisk as the house gets colder and the loudness penetrates 
my eardrums....as i suddenly awaken, i hear mom and dad continuing their strife. . .

their arguments will linger on forever;
my hopes and dreams will probably not...
