The Flashing Lights

She sat in a mesmerized stare alone in her dark living room with nothing but the calming effect of the flashing lights of the Christmas tree to amuse her. There was a peace about her that she couldn't explain. A peace that she knew, as soon as she moved from this place, would leave her. She would be force to rejoin the chaotic endeavours that lay before her. Forced to know all the answers and say all the right things.

She wished she could stay in this place forever
....just her and the flashing lights.
