Ode to Pillows
The soft tickling of feathers
Like a cloud on my face
Waking me up in the morning.
You can change your touch
Whether you want to be hard
Like a rock for support
Or as soft as a
Rabbit’s fur for comfort.
Your the cushion for
my head when I sleep
And a friend who holds
my face when I cry
Soaking up the tears
Like a sponge to water.
You can fit anyone’s taste
Coming in a multitude of colors
Whether that be plain white
Or a more flashy floral.
You can be a gift
On someone’s bed,
Or laying on a couch
Making a house a home.
You are a bag for children to
Hold their halloween goodies,
Of gooey chocolates warm
From sitting at the bottom
Of your soft embrace.
You’ve been used for the
Construction of forts
Allowing children’s
dreams to become realities
Of castles with dragons
Or small little homes
Where imaginary families
Living in their own little worlds.
Not everyone loves you,
Some may prefer your cousin
Who cushions their seats
Allowing for their dreary body
To sit on them after a long day.
But it's you who is there at night
To let their body rest and forget
That long stressful day.
You who holds onto dreams
Of both the young and old,
Allowing us to drift off.
