Blanket

a poem by thenorm

the cool, winter rain
taps upon my window
as the shades of
nightfall
fall around me.

come be my blanket.
surround me,
comfort me
in the darkness
in the shadows.
come be my blanket.

as the moonlit tears
fall down my glass
my soul -
listen, my friend.
the soft melody
carried
by the wind
is around us
and the trees 
dance and sway.

walk with me, 
beside me.
be patient.
be my friend.
understand
this moment now
is not forever.
it is now.

i share with you
what is mine
and what i have
and what i have
right now
this stitch in time
is friendship.

walk with me.
be my blanket,
my comfort on this
darkened night
and know this night
is not forever.

it is only now.
be patient, my friend.

be patient.
