Wonderfully Wild
When you're young
you pray for any action
to break out of the rut..
then you have children
and are forced to grow up
you worship any silence
that briefly pops up
you become addicted to it
secretly wish for it
would give a finger for a sliver of it
then the last child moves out
everything suddenly turns dry and dead
but you get what you've wished for
that silence sliver in your head
funny how things come full circle
in this whirlwind of a world
then suddenly- out pops a grandchild
and everything turns wonderfully wild
and noisy again
