"Feel safe at the thought of" or "in the thought of'?

Question

I think it's "at" but I'm writing it as a part of a poem, so "in" feels better but I don't want it to sound wrong either. Basically the poet feels safe when she thinks about how she would be able to have a rested sleep because someone gave her a sense of security. Any thoughts?
