at last

there is a sweet sigh

of at last

coming from the mouths of drivers
going home.

of children
leaving school.

the elderly waiting on a meal,
or to be
taken

to the park.

at last.

at last love, at last peace.

at last the end
of what bores you, what ails

you,
what's brought you to your knees.

at last.

two words that roll softly off
your tired

lips. you're home. you're
in the arms

of someone you love
and loves
you back.

at last.
