Winter Home

Love blooms on the lips

Of dew-fresh hearts

Nourished by breath given up

So that I may live

The joy of giving and receiving

Grows a trade of selfless compassion

Unprovoked, unmotivated

The words lap at the heart

Like the tide on a balmy night

We have given all we might

To thrive by the love of one another

My roots dig deep into you

When I reach for the heavens

And bloom in pride and ambition

I am anchored in you

And when the frozen winter comes

I will retreat in the warmth you provide

Only to flower again with you by my side
