Into the Wind

Quiet Chaos

In the room down the hall
A clunk as a toy hits the wall
Tiny feet pitter patter
Going where it doesn't matter
The silence of the night
Giving way to bright daylight
As mother tries to wake up
And put on her face her make up
Crying now can be heard
As baby watches a stray bird
Father sits with his coffee
Watching news and quite comfy
Breakfast sizzles in the skillet
Tommy, Jane the cat don't hit it
Screeching now screaming loudly
Sunny skies have just turned cloudy
A quiet day for a mom's respite
Gentle chaos in all its might.
