The Quiet Hour 


When the sun sinks below the horizon and 

the earth steeps into the golden tea of dusk

fast, stronger, darker 

I get it,

to my lips though I cannot see it.


Then,


I sit quietly with closed eyes,

upturned hands resting on thighs.

Slowly a faint glow illuminates the air,

I smile

watching the nescient light filling 

my tea cup until it runneth over.
