Warmth is

the coziness of a fluffy sweater
a thick duvet over - the smell of linen basked in the sun
a sweet, light, warm musk - the scent of clean skin

it is the spicy sweetness of a cup of hot chai milk tea
of cinnamon, cardamon and clover,
strongly brewed in a ceramic ***
over steaming milk,
poured into a copper mug

it is to be surrounded by the love and concern
of familiarity, and of a gentle kindness

it is the soft chatter into the night
of friends during a cozy sleepover
contemplating the unknown future.
