That irresistible feeling of warmth.
Warmth from your body created by its natural heat producing system
under layers of clothing.
It deepens, it penetrates.
Warmth from your soul.
Like a cauldron: deep but perceptible.
Tea brewing.
Water boiling in the kettle.
Those little bubbles rising to the surface, and then -
pop.
Evanesces.
Warmth from your surroundings.
A blanket, the sun.
Your loved ones.
Undetectable but you know it’s there.
That irresistible feeling that envelops you and makes you want to hibernate.
Hibernation:
Noun
An extended period of remaining inactive or indoors.
The condition or period of an animal or plant spending the winter in a dormant state.
Dormant -
such a pleasant word
dor-mant
dor
like “gold”
mant
like “lying”
hum.
Come to think of it
It’s the same word in french.
It translates to:
“sleeping”
Warmth & sleep.
The two go hand in hand.
But warmth -
It weakens your muscles, makes you feel like you haven’t slept in days when,
in fact,
you just woke up.
It’s ok.
A smile forms on your face.
You smile at the thought of curling up on your couch, a mug of tea in hand.
That golden moment
euphoric.
Warmth,
defined as the sensation of being warm or
moderate and comfortable heat.
War-m-th
the sound is awkward;
hard to pronounce, so easy to embrace.
But I love it.
It is simply
irresistible.
That irresistible feeling.
