the car seems quiet today.the road seems to never end.
the movie laughs seem to be muffled.
then the surroundings change.
landmarks we recognize.
highways we are familiar with.
landscapes that feel like home.
we count the mile markers.
we watch our speed limits.
we are home.
safe and sound.
the house always smells like fresh paint when we open the door.
air conditioner at home is working.
refridge is completely empty.
bags and suitcases fill the foyer.
the answering machine is blinking with telemarketers.
the mail bag is heavy.
so much fun on vacation
but it still feels great to be home.
nothing like your own bed to fall asleep in.
