One last cocooning prayer
before I sleep
One last tuning
with that which keeps me
One last recall
of what prevents my fall
The tender cradle
that enwraps us all
The cozy blankets
and the horizontal plane
won’t, on their own
assure my peace
but my true thanks
and prayer with soft refrain
will bring me home
and set my soul at ease.
