When dark wintry thoughts plague
I snuggle into your comforting words
to feel sanity restored
The quilt of your reassuring words
is enough to keep me cosy
during harsh cold nights
Your forever loving embrace
is the talisman that always
keeps me warm and safe.
Written for dVerse. Today’s host, Li, has asked ust write a quadrille including the word “warm“.
Lovely, uplifting poem, Ma’am. 🙂

Fallen Oak
Split now two years
Left a pile behind the shed
Layered then with Fall leaves and Winter snow
Each floating silently to the perfect place
I always go when sundown comes at four and the dogs sniff the cold ashes
Saying “Make it warm.”
