Peace and quiet is the most delicious combination -
Like pink and white marshmallows melting on hot chocolate
A dawn-time treat and a sweetness that seems to linger
It is only in the dark-quiet hours that I can feel a connection -
To myself and to the world
The owls in the tree outside call and sing
Sometimes, there are stars and a crescent moon
After silent mornings, I love sinking into bed in the afternoon -
Finally feeling safe, and able to sleep and dream
Perhaps this is my (second) favourite combination -
Comfort and dissociation
Today will be a pattern I follow, neat as stitches
Tomorrow, likely the same - perhaps this is my (third) favourite combination
I stretch and try to smile - In this moment everything sinks
Colours, flavours, feelings and thoughts
Far better than falling down the Rabbit Hole (perhaps).
