Thunderstorms that rattle windows and light up the sky
Raindrops pound, racing down the pane /
Tea so hot the steam warms the tip of your nose
tingling over the ridges of taste buds on your tongue /
Fuzzy heavy blankets embracing you like hugs
cocooning you in a sarcophagus of warmth /
Books that transport you to another universe
to experience another's life and world
if only for a day, for this moment /
Grilled cheese sandwiches oozing layers
bright orange, pale yellow and white cheese pool
the perfect crunch when teeth sink into toasted bread /
The storm dulls to a lullaby /
Your stomach is satisfyingly full /
Eye lids drift shut, dreaming for this again tomorrow
