She walks the long way home
From work, savouring each
Extra step, feeling every
Pavement crack and hidden
Tree root through the
Flat soles of her shoes.

Every moment is a secret
The evening shares only
With her, caressing her senses,
Singing her silent lullabies
As the stars emerge from
The shadow of the Sun.
