Poetry

Silently you

Wait for the night to grow quiet as you wait to seek down the stairs.

To finish wrapping all the presents, you brought as Christmas is only 23 days away.

You know the deadline is coming, but you only have so much time to finish it.

You say you won’t go overboard this year, but only time will tell as the pile grows every night.

Maybe soon you too can relax and let the silence carry you to sleep again.
