Comforting thoughts

comfort can entrap
maybe not meaning to
seemingly not meaning to
but inevitably doing so

and comfort can become
way too comfortable
it can outgrow its purpose
and no longer provide ease

it's that perfect pillow
that allows the neck relaxation
to where you sleep
a little too well and
your neck gets a crook
because you didn't toss
and you sure didn't turn

that is comfort past its prime
comfort that has spoiled
or comfort that has spoiled you
from forgetting how to grow

blessed is the idiom of
just don't get too comfortable
don't want to drown in throw pillows
when your ship has already set sail
