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
