Aftermath



When the dust of the party 

  settles and food is put away.


When the dishes are done, 

  and order has been restored 


When energy is 

  stunted, stilled and sluggish 


There is only one thing to do: 

  wrap up in a cup of tea, 

    with a blanket, a good book 

      and the glow of memory.



“To rest is not to withdraw from your life completely, 

but to participate in it fully, deeply, wildly.”

~ Emmie Rae, writer and poet
