Contentment (2001)

Contentment

Contentment curls up on the rug by the fire.

Wind doesn't chill,

Rain doesn't soak, and

Worries don't dance with the shadows on the wall.

The unread book lies open on page one;

Leaves are uncreased,

Buds are un-pressed, and

The words of tomorrow are waiting to be told.
