TEA, ANYONE? -- PART DEUX


Here's my story

I found myself tossing and turning after going to bed last night -- 
unable to get to sleep...
so, I tip toed out of bed and came into our back room and pulled
                                      my teapot out and stared at it for a bit...

It was very still 

and so quiet 

that late at night...

so hushed..
                    you could almost feel it...
So...
I pulled out my needle and thread and did a 2nd row around the teapot;
 and then
decided it needed a ring to set it off--
and I made it puffy ;))) 
oh, I like that;)))

then ............
I did an easy border
around the edges...just to frame it some more...

All I could hear was:
just that tick tick sound of my needle going in and out...
[you know, right?]
one little stitch at a time...

slowed me right down...that jumpy
feeling just melted away....into the night....
