Homestyle

Quiet, patterned home,

our homestyle.

Noisy, frenetic, unpredicted home,

our homestyle.

Homestyle

Bob Komives

Worth every return--

both styles.

Home of quiet patterns

is timeless,

liveable day-by-moment;

each day down-plays its import;

each moment important in its

lack of momentary,

taste of eternity,

slow-fill of energy.

Unpredictable, frenetic, noisy home

makes memories;

gifts surprises

to expect but not anticipate;

drains energy while energizing;

crazy, yes,

but so it is.

Welcome to my home;

I hope we do not bore you in our calm.

Welcome to my home;

I hope we do not ignore you in our frenzy.

If our home is today a bother,

return next week for the other.

"Homestyle,"

spoken yesterday: fast-and-choppy.

"Homestyle,"

whisper it today: softly, smoothly.

Please join us,

make yourself at home;

let our style embrace your own style--

homestyle.
