home and hearth

my thirst is different
at this age.
no longer quenching
the nights
with
the chase.
the chase is over, for
the most part.
the enslavement of youth
unshackled.
there is less fear,
less want,
less desires needing
fulfillment. 
the worry of tomorrow
dampened by
savings
and hard work, 
the settling of home
and hearth.
