Downshift


House downshifts after midnight.
Let sleep ring in with windchimes
Time to snuggle under quilt,forget
 five people four horses drowned in flood.
Time to snuggle under quilt, forget
teacher's bloody face after car hit bike.
Time to snuggle under quilt, remember
child's bright voice spelling new words.
Time to snuggle under quilt, remember
kitchen aroma of beef stew with bay leaf.
House downshifts after midnight.
Let sleep ring in with windchimes.

  1. Victoria, you have definitely captured the 'after midnight mood' here!! Love the feeling of snuggling under a quilt this time of year!
