Pour

I see you like snowflakes on a woolen sleeve

Slowly soaking in

Just to freeze, melt

And fall again

On a winters night

When quiet echos into sheets of cold

Silence wraps my body like so many layers

Of a mother's love.

The same storm that soaks me

Takes me inside

Settles my bones like a rug by the fire

The fire that's worth nothing

If you've never been cold

Put on that favorite broken record

Fall, freeze, melt

Fall, freeze, melt

Comfort comes not from the chill

But in familiar reliability

And it's cycles.

Love happens not at first sight

But in the first fall

And is proven in the thousandth thaw

We can not freeze like snow

But we are liquid

And we soak in each other and decide

The warmth is worth the cold
