We can all admit to taking comfort where we can find it,
No one should ever be shunned for merely seeking comfort.
After all it’s a far cry greater than the alternative.
And no one should ever feel bad for hiding from that.
I would always tell them,
-
"Tomorrow we can go our separate ways, I don’t mind at all.
I need only borrow your company for the night,
and I’ve only mine to lend.
But if you feel that golden fire,
be sure to let me know."
-
And in the flickering dawn when we are but half awake,
the early light bellows inwards to explore the room.
Now a quiet place… although not long before,
an electric storm had raged between these hills and valleys.
-
I go through dozens of them,
'comforts'.
But the more I do… the further away I feel
from the real comfort I am trying to find.
