Talisman

Soft, mint green with knitted patterns
The size of a lamb’s fleece
The Sleep-Maker
It is like a cloud being warmed by the sun
“I have many great memories of you” it says to me
A gift from my Grandma
It’s been 12 years
I wish I could remember the beachy atmosphere it would bring
I hope I was excited to have it in my arms
All cosy with it around me

Even though it lives in my cupboard
With it wrapped around my shoulders
I am cushioned from the worries of the world
I feel safe and comfortable
My blanket keeps me warm
