In Our Room

Burgundy drapes fall From the window This fireplace The embers glow Muted light Reflecting Panelled wood Soft glowing Crackle of wood Flickering firelight In our room Our delight Great Forest Tapestries Of leaf and bark Adorn the wall Our forest Our trees In our room Filled with books and firelight The snow outside Still falling Soft scent of you My heart, calling The soft hue Of Tiffany lamps Rugs from Persia Being with you In our room too Billowing clouds Tall ships sail Of seas green and blue Upon the hearth The dogs lay Snoring softly in firelight They enjoyed the walk today In our room Flickering firelight Illuminating the gloom Snow outside Soft and white
