~Hot Cocoa~

a colder
version
of thinner air
circles of
blue mist

stars in
bewildering sky
staring from
far away
in twilight

rising moon
swirling circle
of birds

a laced
pillow quietly
smelling of
lavender

the smell
of wild bird
oh these little moments
that's what
it's all about

hot cocoa
and small
smiles spreading
what's a
celebration without
something hot?
