Multipurpose Surface
In the beginning,
the wood floor’s purpose
granted ease of care.
Grandchildren, however,
took two running steps
in sock feet, and slid
all the way down the hall.
Sweet William and Petunia,
sent feline fur floating
through breathing space
as they chased one another
and batted toy mice
across the shiny planks.
The warm, wooden hue
furnished a fitting tableau
with the furniture
of our casual lifestyle.
Peace and contentment,
settled by design
on multi-purpose surface.
