Winter

Touch me with your smile

a look, a glitter in your eye

to soothe these winter nights

to warm a dying fire.

Lead me with a song to

a meadow in the spring

where the willow bends her head

& the stream is running clear

Tell me that you love me

without a single word

for words can lead astray

& words are only heard.

Touch me with your smile

laughter glitters brighter than

these evening stars, take a walk

beneath Orion’s belt

& play a mean guitar

yes play that mean guitar.
