A few beautiful things

See
The flicker of a candle,
The early sun,
Dad crying at The Lion King,
Home.

Hear
Other people’s laughter,
Waves hitting Abersoch Beach,
A heartbeat,
Home.

Touch
Holding a child’s hand,
Letting sand filter between my fingers,
Pebbles smoothed by the sea,
Home.

Smell
Freshly washed laundry,
Home made biscuits,
Eucalyptus leaves,
Home.

Taste
Earl grey from my wide rimmed mug,
Drinking red wine with friends old and new,
Satsumas on Christmas morning,
Home.
