Cold Winds Blowing

Welcome back, Rest awhile, Let your journey to continue on without you. Rest awhile, From the cold winds blowing, Your eyes reveal your weariness. Travels can take their toll. You See, Your journey didn't go far. It waits outside the door, Till day breaks. You must have so much to share, So many stories. But, such little time remains And so few that stop to listen, But the cold winds blowing. Drink from the cup of respite It is this moment saved Reserved for your reflection Preserved from the wrinkled hand Arthritic joints don't glide so freely anymore You can feel that by the fire Here, within these adobe walls, And outside, The cold winds blowing.
