Stormy night ––
You walk inside
Shoes and coats off ––
Your breathing slows
Your cheeks burn
The oven inundates your nose
Warm carpet embraces your feet
Your goose bumps surrender to the heat
You take a deep breath
And ambling forward,
Sink into a seat
You hear the rain attacking the roof
Water trickling, windows weeping
yet your hair is dry
It’s a stormy night
But you’re a calming sight
Inhale in
Exhale out
A sigh of relief
A comfort that feels
Somehow concrete
Somehow in reach.
Your heart is warm
Fearless, confident
At peace.
Your prospect is clear
Hopeful, triumphant
A Golden Fleece.
.But the heating is off
The kitchen is dark
Your coat is dripping
A memory of trembling
But you feel the glow
The warmth, the love
You wonder why
Then you look into his eyes.
