Winter Day
Sleep my love, as the morning takes flight,
warm yourself beneath blankets of a darker night
where stars and moon glow bring dreams of kings might
and the winter winds slow less strong and more polite.
Shut your eyes safe, snug and tight
hours lag before the first rays of light
dance your heart to rhythms rising heights,
sleep awhile, a little longer before the coldest bites;
stir not the visions keep their promises well in sight
and sleep, rest to wake in fields of snowy white
when all creatures rise with the sun most bright
time enough for the day to excite.
