In slide of hand

chilled soul seeks a pocket inside,
protection from frozen arctic winds
that threaten to chill the inner core
as temperature drops,

and the AM news does nothing
to lift the inner being
upwards into the comfort zone;

yet he cups my heart,
feathering the coldness
as in a down caress,
bringing warm blushes back
to lips of cold steel,

offers a kiss to feel alive and real;

but as the frigid clock
ticks itself off in a moment of fear,
the day suddenly rushes in,
an arctic wind blasting itself boldly

and the inner core temperature drops

seemingly below any allowable recovery point

until once again

slide of hand
reaches in and gifts

the touch of warm.

BTW, it was only 29F here this morning. I thought for a moment I was back in Alaska, until I remembered it's only 3F in my former neighborhood this morning.

Midnitesun,
For every cold there is a warm.

Kacy I really love this new style your writing has taken on.
So softly spoken...much enjoyed.
Hugs~

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.
