night settles around me
warm and inviting
until I snuggle down
into its velvetine fur
a trusting child
eager to release
the weight and weariness
day imposes upon us all
eager to let fly
the ribbon of consciousness
night’s clumsy paw
keeps retrieving for me

i love these words — ribbon of consciousness — they say so much and yet remain mystery too…Thank you for the ribbon and the mystery. 🙂
Oh, you are so sweet to mention the ribbon…I kept imagining something, something by which we all connect to one another, a level of wakefulness at least…and ribbons just felt nice in my childlike hand. Blessings to you, sweet child and companion!
Yes a ribbon of light and love holding us together – gently but not tightly. i feel so blessed to be with you. 🙂
