Blanket Protection

As light gently slices the veil of night, a sliver of morning appears through my window With one eye open, I check the time The fuzzy warmth of my sweet, soft blanket compels me to think that all is right with the world, that all is right with my world and I could stay like this for hours, never moving Funny how a blanket could offer such protection As though the problems of the day just can’t get in Everything can wait, these moments of peace sustained Inevitably, the world wins and I awaken Thoughts pervade, invade and beckon Perhaps today, I can do something to help I wish for all, a blanket of protection

I like the metaphor and use of words to create the imagery in your poem.. We could all do with a blanket for protection..

This is absolutely so nice and a favorite Mike. Blankets to that! I love them and so does my dog lol. Also I love the kind ending to your poem as well, thinking about what you can do to help and wishing others a blanket of protection. :)

Thanks so much, Heidi. When others, such as yourself, are kind, it impels others to be kind as well! XXOO
