​Poem by Dan Stone
Did you see the sign 
hanging on the door?
Were you surprised?
Sometimes we all need
to not be disturbed.
To settle down
and settle in,
to lose the last 
damn we had to give
and just remember 
how it feels to live
a little more,
to soak like pearls,
to chill like Chardonnay,

indulging nothing 
and nobody else. 
Not today. 
Seems a rather 
selfish blurb, yes?
Then I’ve said it well.  
I’ve earned this rest,  
learned my lessons,
honed my craft,
labored to release 
obsessions, passed 
several tricky tests.  
It’s my sweet reward 
to sink into this bliss
I’ve drawn, to read 
what someone else 
has paid their price to tell,
to dodge my woes
assemble every friend
who’ll heed my call
to leave me be
but still stay close
and love me,
even like this.
