Fiction is a blanket
that wraps like a snake
and cradles like a mother.
It's the bed in a hammock
that rocks and shakes,
but lifts you from the ground.
It's a cover from the elements
that chills to the bone,
and warms the heart.
Fiction is a shield
to stop the dragon's breath,
and whatever's waiting at home
It's tattered and weathered
burned fabric from the passion,
yet soaked from the love.
It gives perspective,
darkness in too much light,
light in so much darkness.
Fiction is the blanket
that makes my fingers cold;
my heart pumps strong.
