Wait lets stay awhile
And warm our bones
Beside this fire
Stained glass and windowsills
In a fortress of sorts
Weve wandered in
At the same time
And we know what waits outside
Gazing watchful eyes
Patient and perched
Atop the pines
A singing whipporwill
In a song calling out both
Of our names
We close our eyes
And then we hum the notes
