My thoughts are with you
Even though you are not here
I wish to be there with you
In your arms
As we watch the snow
Fall through the branches
And to the ground
Just outside,
And far beyond,
Your window.
Far above the cold,
Bare,
Outstretched branches
Of the tree
The dark clouds
Race across the sky
With the wind as their fuel.
A break in the blanket
Of these overfilled clouds
Allows for the moon,
With it's bright gaze,
To take in the details
Of the snow covered ground.
And on the inside
Of that double paned glass
The flames beneath the mantle
Flicker and dance
Filling the room
With it's comforting
Soft, warm glow
Mirroring what I feel
For you
The fire in my heart
And my body the room.
