So now in
this quiet night 
when lamps glow 
and piano music 
hangs like netting 
keeping out noise 
of my thoughts 
chasing them away 
one little note 
at a time 
and making way 
for this tune 

In a flurry 
happens a hurry
and plans scurry 
about like fury
where to go 
what to do
with you know 
who calm down 
smile don’t frown
wear a gown 
be a clown 

Twilight is 
daybreak’s twin
not identical 
but of
the same 
mother dusk
is dawn’s
and is
that too
but two
days down

Bean meets bean
meets a bee
in a pot
hot water added 
given a stir 
left to brew
next a blessing 
and a plunge
pleasure we made 
in a cup 
vanilla honey coffee 

My life has 
become a present 
a wanted gift
a kind of
cozy and comfortable 
given to myself 
no more quickies 
desperately trying to 
fill some void 
no more crazies
accepted as normal 
just a quiet 
and clean and 
calm little place 
I call home
