an epiphany

on this bus
i ride everyday
i look out sleepily
at the buildings
cars
and signs
on my way home
start thinking what i'll cook for tea
and how i can distract myself
until it's time for bed

but as i looked out leisurely
i wasn't really seeing
inside my head
a sweet epiphany
of you
walking your dog
and wishing me well
i kept it in my head
until my eyes were closed

after tea with dishes washed
and feet put up
and tv on
and not really watching much
the ritual completed
for another day

and still inside my head
a sweet epiphany
of you walking your dog
and wishing me well
i kept it in myself
until the light was out
