Let You and I Rest

Poetry

Diaz, Gianna 091281.jpg

Looking out the foggy window

Feeling the warmth at our backs


As the fire casts a light glow across

our faces

The white flakes continue to fall


in the corner the twinkle of light

boxes in red and green


with blue and yellow ribbons

lay underneath the tree


how do you feel I may ask

with a slight tilt of my head


in your direction

I encourage you to speak openly


as we enjoy these Winter days

not many will be


when the Sun begins to warm

our faces instead of the fire


but you and I rest now

looking out the window


enjoying the warmth

The fire brings to our backs


the love we share in our hearts

The gift we cherish most you and I hand and hand
