NaPoWriMo 15 2017

Let the stillness begin,

hang the streamers,

and blow the balloons,

light the fires beneath 

the barbeque grills -

and force the real world

to wait outside or down

the street until the party's 

over. There's no need to 

worry here, not while 

we're surrounded by those

we have grown to love

as family and laugh with

as friends. Things have

been way too difficult

lately.

But here and now,

we have a chance to 

take a moment without

any of that grief.

I know I've always got a pen,

in my hands and book in my lap,

I dress too much or too little

compared to all of you, and 

when I joke back it's quietly

but really I look forward to

our Saturday parties and 

midnight banters over

red wine and espresso.
