They say it happens

Slowly,

And then all at once.


You struggle against the day,

Fight past the shadows spinning round the room,

Tie up your busy things, far away.

Turn to rest,

As hard as that sounds,

Close your eyes,

It’s all okay.


The day is over. The day is won.

Forget the parts that made the whole,

Prepare to rise the next day,

Better.


Close your eyes


Slowly,

And then all at once.

I progressed from my love of “snack drinks" to a more general appreciation of coffee, and would have a cup of coffee once a week or so. My “cup of coffee" would consist of a little coffee and a lot of cream and sugar, but it was coffee nonetheless. Then I started college.
