A very small gift

I heard the sound of the bell despite the noise of the music

My friend pushed me towards the door

I opened the door and the voices  faded in my mind

I smiled foolishly

received a sober smile in return

This is a wonderful gift, my dear friend

 I felt the Christmas hat gently adjusted over my head

I can really only smile

foolishly again

I meditated on the beautiful hand that invited me out

I shivered because the air and the whisper in my stunned ear "Looking at you, I think the new year will be nice and special"
