Cozy

Within the warm enclosing orb,

a concentrated calm,

a softly emanating glow,

a home, a welcome balm

Come in, come inward —

Here is the essence of cozy —

This house, this room,

these people,

This place inside yourself

where you are content,

where your inner lamp

warms your corners

and draws your world 

into your embrace.
