Frosty Night

You arrive on the breath of winter
As silent as the snow
Not yet fallen

Enter, my friend
I’ve been waiting for you
But did not know you were coming

Come, warm yourself at the hearth
Put out your hands
To the fire that hasn’t been lit

I shall set match to candle instead
Watch the shadows play
To a miniature fire burning brightly

The music of your heart
Murmurs seductively
Foretelling the sacred hour

When you return to the night
And the bite of the hoarfrost
Where winter will triumph
