Safe Haven

Soft sunlight

Warming our bodies

Cold from the long night

We stand up

Shaking the dew from the morning's melt off of our fur

We leap into the wildflowers

Running along the river,

Flowing at an easy pace.

We are carefree,

You will be, too,

If you let your mind wander to such a faraway place that seems so

Impossible

You can reach this

You can climb to this height of living

Of existence

It just takes effort

Perseverance

Hope

To reach your safe haven.

    reality crashes down on me

    as powerful as a tidal wave

    toasty,

    happy in my

    cocoon of solitude

    where no one bothers me

    while I read and snuggle by myself,

    wrapped up in blankets

    hidden in pillows

    engulfed in stuffed animals.

    Peace,
