reading in the quiet yard

when young,
you couldn't wait to get out
of the house.
to leave and go where there
might be fun.
music and dancing.
where love might be found.
where friends are.
adventure is what you wanted.
excitement.
you desired new things.
new thoughts, new views on
the world.
but that was then
and this is now,
as you open a book
and sit calmly on a saturday
night, reading
in the quiet yard.
