Scented
Wax Candle
The clicking sound of the scented wax candle
The crackling logs on the blazing fire
And the gentle tinkling of the crystal chimes
Moved by the warm circulating air of the room
The sounds caress my ears like a lullaby
I lie here, comfortable and cosy
Propped up on a soft plump cushion
Throw rug over my legs, tucking my toes in
A warm glow surrounds me
A calmness permeates through the atmosphere
Soothing the knots from my shoulder
The aches from my legs – the weight from my mind
I lounge like a contented cat in the stillness
A pot of Earl Grey percolating on the table
A book in my hand - the quiet washes over me
A deep sigh of contentment
A quick smile flits over my face
Peace – perfect peace
