still an’ quiet he lies on my breast
animal comfort at its best
ensconced with me in a warm green bubble
an’ a dancing fire that burns away all trouble
gently he snuggles underneath my chin
a faithful companion through thick an’ thin
happily he absorbs my pain
as we cuddle to the music of autumn rain
soft an’ warm he nestles against my breast
eroding the fear that resides in my chest
at peace, I stroke his fur – my heart’s not aching
I’m safe – for now – in a world of my own making
