Slumber

I love you tender, oh sweet, caring slumber
You wrap me in your arms
And transport me without qualms
To beauty, calm and quiet
Away from every racket
I fall in love with you every night
Fight to be with you with all my might
I long to stay buried deep within you
Why do you loosen your grip on me?
The warmth of your breath
That state of near death
You comfort me
I can feel the brush of your supple feathers against my cold cheek
I can feel your dense fur pressed against my body
I surrender to you, I can't help myself
In your layered blankets in the cold
I am yours, forever more.
