managed to chase some of the leftover unease away .

Outside , what met my gaze was a balm of sweet solace to my soul .

Brilliant blue met the horizon again , bathing the village in golden warmth from the sun .

One came to me : a little girl , large , round eyes with that sense of curiosity , holding onto something .
