Don'T Be Afraid, Love

Come out with me, my love. The sun is shining bright today. Come let’s enjoy the calm Despite this mighty winter’s day. For look ominous dark clouds gather On the periphery of the horizon. But it will not rain today, it's calm. Only wispy white clouds can be seen rising. Sure the trees are bare and icicles Hang lonely here and there on darkish branches. Still there is no cold wind to speak of. Leafless offshoots will be still, not one dances. Come out with me, my love. The sun is shining bright today. Come let’s enjoy the calm Despite this mighty winter’s day. Slowly follow the uneven path Until a meandering rill we detect. It leads towards a homely tavern Two cups of hot black coffee we won't reject. Night will soon creep upon our cold world Back home we must soon repair as the dark clouds Silently gather above our skies, Back to our home, away from maddening crowds. Come out with me, my love. The sun is shining no more today. Let’s enjoy the calm at home Despite this mighty winter’s day.
