Sleeping In A Tent

I sleep in a tent
Alone
On a beach
The rain
Sounds different on canvas
Less muted than on a roof
Comforting
That I don't have to go outside
Wet and alone in the dark
I know those friends well
Always faithful
Throw in a little cold
Ah misery
The most faithful of friends
But not tonight
I am in a tent
Under a duvet
Warm and dry
More apart than alone
Knowing friends and family are out there
Safe from the storm___”
