dear dark quiet room

the sound of nothing is  peaceful, how often do i get to just sit and enjoy the sound of nothing?....the smell of shampoo on my clean hair brings comfort and calming to me as i sit on my bed. My mattress is soft, so soft in fact that I could probably mold into it and never come out. I do love my bed, maybe I'm biased, but I think my bed is the most alluring out of every bed i've yet to see. I love the warmth of summer that has made the whole house, including you room, sauna-like. The need to sleep with the window open is promising, for it allows me not only to enjoy the clear night sky, but will also awake me with a brisk morning and the chirping of birds. Also dark quiet room, you offer me a shelter from everything else, at least for the time being. You don't expect homework to be done, or people to be impressed, you simply offer relaxation and pondering...yes, pondering.
Dark quiet room, you allow a place where thoughts are not drowned out by noise and drama, where even the mirrors and the lamps can take a break from doing their jobs. You have no expectations, dark quiet room, because everything is as it seems in darkness.
And dark quiet room, you are reliable, more reliable that many things I have to deal with these days. I can always look forward to you greeting me at some point in the night, same bed, same place, and regardless of my circumstances, what kind of a day I had, or how crappy I feel, you are always welcome.

Love your most devoted and admiring friend.
