I could lift you every night from the ground
to keep you away from your earthly troubles
I could contour your silhouette so you can have peace
in my arms while you sleep
I could bat all the nightmares with my feathers
So you can rest safely on me
I could open the gateway to the dreams you used to have
when you were young
I could blow away the struggles that make you frown
when your eyes close
I could dry your tears when you feel suffocated by life
I could warm you up when you’re cold
Signed: Your pillow
