Cover Me

November 27, 2019

Written by:

I love you cotton,
love you soft, warm and snuggly.

I love you, you soothing in the cold night snuggler, holding me close, lulling me to sleep with your sand song.

The sound is sweeter than laughter.
It’s sand coming in with the tides, loud and proud upon ascension but subtle upon defending and cradling my limbs, light and wistful.

I love you gray and weighted,
your pressure so promising.
I love you as you hug me, grains sifting about you as I turn.

The whirring of my ceiling fan enters in your remarkable chorus of grains, hugs, cotton covered bliss.
I am calm within you, your ontarague magnificent.

I never thought this many words could manifest while writing about a weighted blanket.

That was beautiful and hilarious at the same time. The sensory description and meandering structure lulls the reader into happy drowsiness. Then out loud laughter at the wry self-reflection of the final line.

  Thanks so much! I was hoping this would make someone laugh 🙂 I had to write a poem for my blanket lol. I’m glad the comedy is obvious. I was hoping it would be 🙂

The beauty of memories goes back far, and I love your reflections on the warmth of a weighted blanket. 🙂
