Comfort's Paradigm

The fur,

The purr,

A deep contented sigh;

The cat has a nap

Curled up on my lap,

The dog rests his head on my thigh.

With just a look,

I put down my book,

Seeing soft faces in repose;

My heart is full,

I feel the pull

As my own eyelids begin to close.

Each in our places,

With sweet, sleepy faces,

A beautiful refill for my soul;

To snuggle and hug,

Set down the cocoa in a mug,

Savor the moment as a whole.

So true in Life,

We deal with strife,

And forget to take the time;

To relax in ease,

Melt in the breeze,

In comfort’s paradigm.
