The Aura of Your Glow
Oh, you cold and lonely mistress
kissing softly leafless trees
toying with your distant lover
as his shadow slowly flees
bats need not your feeble light
as they hunt by sound not sight
while lovers lift their view to you
embracing fully what you do
so cast the aura of your glow
through the trees across the snow
for it’s your softly tempered tone
leads hand-held lovers back to home
