cover

i want to knit
you a blanket
of the warmest
fiber
hand spun
on my very own
loom
harvested
from my
hemp
and my
flax
and my
sheep

i want
to dye
the fiber
the richest
colors
from the
ripest
fruit
and the
driest
root

i want
to tie
each knot
and seal
it with a tear
to keep you
dry
and safe
from fear

i want
to take
that blanket
and wrap
you up
keep you warm
safe from harm

i want to
knit you a blanket
adorned
with
a landscape
of love
fertile earth below
shining heavens above

i want to
cover every inch
i want to
cover every thing
i want to
keep you warm
keep you
safe from harm
