The fire, crackling and popping
Amber colors, dancing through the night
The room is filled with warmth and light
The calmness of it all
Gets me through the dark
The dark blue sky
A canvas painting through the window
The stars,waltzing through the sky
Occasionally winking at me
Saying, “Tranquility is your friend tonight.”
Books piled armrest high
Their aroma warms me like a cocoon
Excitement builds
My body has the chills
Imagine the new worlds I’ll explore
By the time the clock strikes 12
The tea, my very best friend
The only company I ever need
Most will revel, party hard until it stops
The cold brisk air will be keeping them company tonight
But what more can one ask for
When a fire, books and tea
A cottage
A brisk December night
Is all that makes this ending year
So Ideal
cup of tea with that book, please
