I fix my tea before I dream The herbs swirl in my subconscious A ritual warm and full of steam I wake knowing, “I want this.” I read someone else’s words before I sleep Losing myself to a story A healthy escape that I’ll keep up To bide off darkness and worry. I wash my face before I slumber Washing away the day Tomorrow any anxiety I may encumber Must in the future stay. I pen my thoughts to the night’s sound Striking the ink to the rhythm of my thoughts Meanwhile fear and curiosity abound I must momentarily quell my haves and have nots.

Ritual
I fix my tea before I dream The herbs swirl in my subconscious A ritual warm and full of steam I wake knowing, “I want this.” I read someone else’s words before I sleep Losing myself to a story A healthy escape that I’ll keep up To bide off darkness and worry. I wash my face before I slumber Washing away the day Tomorrow any anxiety I may encumber Must in the future stay. I pen my thoughts to the night’s sound Striking the ink to the rhythm of my thoughts Meanwhile fear and curiosity abound I must momentarily quell my haves and have nots.
