We lose track of time
As we read this beautiful poem
All our adventures
Wrapped up
Condensed
Like milk
Sweet to the tooth
Light on the heart
We boil the kettle
Fill the bowls
Let's pretend at making tea
She claps her hands
In glee
We lay everything out
On the table
Shiny spoons
Delicate plates
We will eat
When the moon drops
When we have to light a candle
Say a prayer
Enjoy our feast
We enjoy the silence
The fact that we can
Sit at the table together
Take this poem
We whisper
Time is flying by.
