" A Winters Promise "

She speaks to me in winters themes
Near the fireplace
Of her compassion, and her warmth
Which spreads like snowflakes
Forming beauty
In her happiness and her comeliness
Shining, like the icicles
Reflecting moonlight
Off the snows of romantic rides
With sleigh bells ringing
Just, out of sight
And in that distance
There is hope
A winters promise
That this new Love
Will burst in beauty
Come the spring.....

For:  Cherie
