Ode to blankets

Ode to blankets

A Poem by Jessi Leigh
"

Today my absolute treat has been to come home, take a shower and cuddle up in a blanket on the couch

"
Tonight in this gently treasured time and space
- I adore you.

With all the longing of comfort after a troublesome day,
With all the crazy-wonderful love my wild soul has to offer for the ecstasy of simple pleasures
- I worship your existence.

Wrapping your soft gentleness around this fragile petite deadfeeling body,
My breathe sighs and smiles relishing in its relief
- I thank you.

Transported back in time to a delicate state of infancy
Beautiful memories dance dazily in the air

Enveloped the warmest cocoon of comfort and safety the cold war on my shoulder ceases.
Your peace and innocence conquers all.

I find the titles of your poems very striking and it makes me want to read them all! This one foremost, haha!

People do not realize how sensual sleep is, I see it is not lost on you!

This was such a cozy read, it was like being back in the friggin womb!

Exactly how I feel about the down comforter in my little A-frame overlooking the Green Mountains on a snowy January morning.

A nice person wraps you in a cocoon of
comfort and security.
Being with this person makes you feel safe
and warm.
Nice , sweet poem .
