my heavenly nap

Oh a heavenly nap, you know the one. Right in the middle of the day. You can be alone or with someone else. If you are alone, you can stretch to all four corners of the bed and adjust accordingly for optimum coolness for each leg, foot, and elbow. If you are with someone else, you can snuggle up to their warmth and throw an arm and a leg over their body. They might be small enough to curl completely around them, or big enough they curl completely around you. Maybe you choose to lay apart and just hold hands, or touch your toes together. The blankets are heavy but not too warm, all perfectly soft with different textures. There's the silky sheet, the cotton blanket with an open weave, the duvet with the down comforter inside. The sheets are smooth and cool smell slightly of bleach. The pillows are just so. The fan is on to drown out the rest of the world noise. It might be raining out, or the window might be open. Somebody could be mowing their lawn while in blows the fresh green breeze. The comforting sound of the snow-plows driving by may be the last thing you hear, and you know the roads will be nice if you have to go out later. So you smile and close your eyes and fall ever so gently to sleep.
