The waitress brings us
Tea and cake
We have been on an adventure
And are hungry and tired
Craving our bed
And sugary sleep
The waitress doesn't have a name
Not like Hatter
She must in real life
We whisper
When she has left our table
Today like a cat chasing a mouse
We ran into the field
And on to the forest
We could feel the power
Of the trees
For a moment it left us in a fluster
But we spied our deer
And learnt to be still again
We sat
Took a rest
Like sitting on nature's porch
We summoned up
An invocation
Please keep us safe
That we have made it
To the end of another day
Seems magical
We finish up
Our tea and cake
Slowly walk back to the room
At least we left
If only for a moment.
