Storm Over the Glens

The sky grew darkened as the day neared it's end
Clouds of black cloak the glens, impending in their send

Drops of rain on the rooftop now fall, it's like music to our favorite song
I glance over seeing you stoking the fire, lightening throw shadows like they belong

My hand cradles a glass of chilled wine, sitting next to my darling man
Whilst the howling winds tempt the trees to a dance, as if it all was planned

In our highland cottage so warm, the storm rages on, as we lie in blanketed clutch
Tomorrow the glens will be calm and serene as I am awoken by your touch

"In our highland cottage so warm, the storm rages on, as we lie in blanketed clutch" This says a lot about your contentment with your man even in the mids of the storm. Love brings out the brilliance in us all. Great write!! Joy (Jew)

What a beautiful, romantic setting, Wilma, sharing day's end with your loved one by a fireplace while listening to music and drinking wine. Your summer will soon be here, dear, and the winds will stop howling. Yet it seems so lovely when you describe the way the winds "tempt the trees to dance." Finding such serenity during a storm is quite a special moment. Wonderful poem! Love, Carolyn

Ahh! Sounds like a warm nest in the raging tempest Wilma, A heart-warming poem, thanks. Father time is not all that cute though, hence his 'holiday home' ! Thanks for your comments Gordon. (hicky)
