Home

John Lennon said he was a dreamer

Knew in his soul he was not the only one

And like Kermit, here I am still dreaming

Of a rainbow connection that has not yet begun

***

A home we built together

Spooned laughter mixed with mixing bowls

And walls adorned with framed adventures

Waltz graced floors imprinted with our soles

***

A front porch painted with sunrises

Grained conversations stained in wood

A lilac bush holding past and current memories

Scented reminders of all that is good.

***

A kitchen where you can find me

Baking cookies cause you had a bad week

That turns into a ballroom

And finds us dancing cheek-to-cheek

***

Rooms filled with all our love-making

Tables etched with all we have discussed

The rainbow connection we finally found—

The lovers, the dreamers, and us
