I find myself with one more hour to do as I please
And how might I spend this time?
I've quizzed myself and aced it!
Sitting very still a while
Drinking in the silence
Capturing like fireflies, a wishlist for the coming months
Releasing a spider that found it's way in from the cold
One last cup of tea to sip this year
A final wash up of cups and teapot
A deep intake of night air to fuel and color what dreams may come
Bedtime rituals sacred and mundane
Make for yet again another memorable slumber
