My Kitchen at 3am

They say the "witching hour" is at midnight
but to me it is at 3am
in my kitchen
amid the culinary clutter
and deep shadows
cast by my small light
very secret spells are woven here
we discuss, encourage
share dreams and share secrets
learning from each other,things
that the light of day will never reveal
these are rare spells
of empathy and insight
a meeting of like minds
mysterious and wonderful
at my humble kitchen table
in the soft night shadows
at 3am
