Textures

Ohh the wintery mornings
With eyes barely open
My hands move and feel 
The familiarity of it...
Kissing my little ones softest cheeks
I wake up

I think of Acorns..
Texture of leathery shell 
Heavens dropped and they fell
Made a leathery carpet of an entire forest 
Pine nuts I feel you too

Texture of the scars on the skin
Rough and ragged I still remember
Reminiscent of Pain
And of beautiful healing
Warrior feeling 

The crisp newspaper
The Coarse coffee powder
Fine dusty sun rays
Smooth surface of the phone
Grainy dust on the floor 

Textures of thoughts, motley
Textures of emotions, fragile 
Textures of pauses, bravado
Textures of solitude, utopia 

As I cover my feet with woolly socks
Tuck myself into feathery duvet 
My head hits a doughy pillow
And wonder if this poem is as nebulous as me!
