They arrived


Clothes are being shed as they are walking up the driveway

Open baggage overflowing abandoned with a thump

The bodies and the water make dramatic contact

I hear and feel the flying liquid as their vocalisations fill the air with laughter and delight

Hours of play ensue

My ears and mind dance with their chatter and refreshing screams

Until they are too hungry or too tired

Children with faces I love, my children at ease and at peace

Sitting at the table alert, open and shining in my eyes.
