A Gentle Night Breeze

I crawled back inside from the patio... the wooden floor felt cool and smooth again. Near the glass door, a cozy woven wool throw lay curled against the floor. I paused, sitting quietly to catch my breath after being outside. With gentle hands, I tucked my toes beneath the thick knitted fringe. Outside, the night sky was dark, but here, the soft yarn wrapped around me in a quiet hug. I rested my cheek down, listening to the soft, rhythmic hum of the quiet house.
