One Day When it’s Winter by Louise Rill

One day when it’s winter, 

When the tall oak groans in northern winds

When the cruel frost creeps white beneath the bark

And twigs once sappy and green

Shake brittle and dry in the darkening

Then come to my door, 

Let yellow light spill out,

Let me wrap you in warm, 

Let summer kisses bring back roses!

What wingspan glides in the blue August skies?

Soar and circle, Paired in gentle harmony,

One another, melt then-

Be with me
