What emboldens me so;
to reach across my heart and release
a smile deeper than has yet seen light of day?
My arms wrap a frozen soul
and my own breath is not enough
to ease these wracking, fearful shivers.
I long to revive my heart,
you distract my attempts to breath
my own warmth to thaw its permafrost.
An embrace like no other
warms my flesh, soothes my brow
as old fears are stirred into wonderment.
Warmth trickles down,
past the lump in my throat,
whispering a hope for spring seeds.
