Your embrace is so comforting.
Like coming home from a long trip.
There's a wonderful feeling of contentment
in walking through the front door of my own abode.
There are no words,
yet the walls themselves welcome me.
The familiar aroma in the air wraps around
my senses like a soft cotton blanket.
Your embrace is so calming.
Like sitting on the soft, dry sands
of the ocean's shore at sunrise.
Hearing the wind and waves whisper
in my ears as the first golden rays of sunlight
reflect off the water, creating hypnotic abstract
images that destroy all anxieties.
Your embrace is so contagious.
Like the overwhelming desire
to close my eyes when deprived of sleep.
Oh, how I try desperately to keep my eyes open,
but can not fight the alluring draw of arms of sleep,
pulling me closer and closer
to the edge of it's grasp.
Your embrace is so secure.
Like the feeling I get when I'm sitting in my favorite chair,
listening to the pounding rain during an evening summer storm.
