Nest
Where have you come from?
Where have you been?
Your paws are all wet and
your fur needs a clean 

Come curl up beside me
And stop for a rest
I've made a soft bed
Warn and cosy, a nest 

It's not very big, but it fits you just right
Your feet can tick under your tummy at night 

Take hold of my fingers, I've got you I'm here
The firelight is growing, there's nothing to fear
In morning or springtime whenever you wake
Well celebrate quietly
with nibbles of cake 

And stretch out and yawn
Or go right back to sleep
For nesting is endless 
When resting so deep. 

There is just this moment 
There is just this place
There is just the blissed out
Pure joy on your face 

If I had a wish 
For that hurt in your eye
The kettle would boil
And your thoughts would untie 

You'd lay your tired feet 
And your wings would smooth out
Lets wrap up your troubles 
Leave no gaps for doubt 

Just hear the fire crackle
while breath slows in your chest 
Jack frost is on the windows
But you're safe in your nest
