In Each Other’s Arms
An autumn wind blows
From the north cold
With the constant rain
Shivering to the bone
Fires burning bright
Windows closed tight
Trying to stay warm
To be near the fire
On an autumn’s eve
Snuggled in a fleece
Clutching a hot drink
Warmth surrounds
Warmth permeates
But still a coldness
No heat can warm
The loving caress
An understanding look
The knowing glance
A comforting embrace
Will dispel deepest cold
Warmth of heart
Warmth of soul
Given
Without question
Returned
Without thought
Is true warmth
Sitting by the fire
On an autumn’s eve
Sharing understanding
Holding hands
Sharing life
Sharing love
No matter the weather
Warn in each other’s arms
