A Good Way to End the Day

Long days
Mixing with nights,
Chasing phantoms
To put them to rest,
Continuing on
Into the unknown,
And finding rest.

Expecting nothing,
Yet receiving
More than I had hoped.
You provided
A stomach
Happily fed,
And lips
Joyfully libated.

A day of toil
To an evening
of laughter,
Joy
And new beginnings.
