Enveloping, invisible heat
emanates from wood-burning stove
soothes, sedates mind and body
into meditative state
while ensconced on sofa or cot
hypnotized by black box warmth
mind untethers, floats, escapes
ascending to the sweetest sleep
perhaps presaging eternal rest
not like nightly sleeping spells
riven with subliminal struggles
helping unravel daytime life
just an agreeable amnesia
no memory with any texture
unremembered glimpse of nirvana
suffused with ambrosial promise
gentle return to wakefulness
the mind’s cleared of its clutter
no weariness from anxious dreams
just refreshed, contented being.
