Another Storm

Love and snow definable

Another Storm

Winter never ends above the tundra line

Where snow falls sleepy on outside rocks

Mounts up like sand on midnight dunes, and

Around the tiny cabin built by splintered hands

Where inside the fire burns to warm the soul

Slowly, as the wood thaws from the bitter cold

Brought in hours ago to dry beside the fireplace

Sleep will help us to forget about mortality

Under deep covers where no one can find us

Crackling embers burst alive with heavy sound

Alerting the wild that lovers still survive

For miles around animals keep their silence

The void keeps coming with blizzard frequency

We embrace it to avoid catastrophes unthinkable

Cuddle up in warmth which is simply how we are

In love and bracing for another storm to be born
