December Dusk by Jane E PearceAll quiet
except for the fridge,
and pages turning
in my love's book.
The sun completes
a winter day's travel,
as I think of supper,
and what to cook.
Daily burdens
shadow the roses,
while lollipops beckon,
if we'd only look.
Listen to the turquoise hours
hidden upon the shelf,
singing of purple powers
secreted in yourself.
