The Cosseting
by Alison Stormwolf

Cover me with clouds
That I may lose myself
In that misty armour
May clothe my nakedness
Protect my integrity
And shield me from
Those who would
Rip me from the sky

Cover me in clouds
That I can have the vantage point
And see with high perspective
And weep with free abandon
My oceans full of stormy tears
The sun upon my shoulders
Enwrapped in downy bliss

Cover me with clouds
So I can be invisible
Dissolve into the heavens
Keep company with stars
Drift on in azure skies
See everything more clearly
My heart at one with dawn
Oh yes,
Cover me with clouds.
