Simplicity Stirs the Soul

saffiregreek

Snowflakes on a windless night
Half asleep on astral flight
A blazing fire to warm my bones
Yuletide blessings throughout the home

Spring rain upon my face
Trout fishing in my secret place
The promise of a t-shirt day
Conversations that crows relay

Bungee jumping at the shore
Blacksnake by the cellar door
Sultry nights and UFOs
Morning dew upon my toes

Gathering friends for tales of old
Hazelnut coffee to chase the cold
Childrens' smiles and laughing skies
A loving gaze from soulful eyes
