ODE TO MY NEW QUILT ...

“I've got a new quilt”, I said.

“Not very exciting”, you say.

“Ah, but my bed is not just a bed,

Let me take you through its day”.

“It's music-room, library,

Meditation-space,

A place of retreat

When trying to “pace”.

It's my daily refuge,

My port in a storm,

Cosy, welcoming,

Comfy and warm.

It's my magic carpet

To lands near and far,

For travels,

In my imagination.

More comfy than plane,

Train, ship or car,

And I can visit

Any destination.

So my quilt is a friend

Because I'm in need,

And, like all good friends,

It's a friend indeed”.
