Refuge from a Snow Storm

Quiet snow falls on the winter of my heart

Your smile is like the prevailing wind... 

It draws me in like a 

bee to clover... 

I dream of you knocking on my door... 

when cold winds blow 

against my window pane... 

And in the morning light I see 

snowy footprints in the hall where 

you found refuge after all...

Beatiful words Pat. We all need shelter from the storm at some point in our lives, where warmth and comfort becomes more important than what we used to think was important, wealth. Perhaps you need to be welcomed out of a storm to see that though.
You put that into words so well.

dear Lorry... the eve of thanksgiving is past and the night air is getting colder... tomorrow will be almost freezing.... perhaps the birds will find shelter.
And you will sleep while the snowy white owls 🦉 will be very wise and warm as
Hot chocolate in a cup.... Many blessings. truly, Pat

And to you Pat, thanks.

What a lovely romantic write this is. Dreamy....your fantasy man comes to see you on a snowy night. I am sure you would not mind the footprints in the hallway. A warm hug of a write. Lydi**

dear Lydia... the footprints in the Hall iare surely mysterious in a house that is haunted with romance. A poet’s hideaway among the tall Fir trees and a breeze of a winter storm brewing and mourning doves cooing. Blessings, Pat

A beautiful poem Pat, I imagine you welcoming those from the storm. We all need shelter, particularly when vulnerable. May I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving. Be happy.

dearest Chris... I can also imagine your Angel wings fluttering and hovering over those who need shelter from the storm.
There are many who are vulnerable. Our prayers are with the “Caravan” at the southern border. Thank you for your 💕 lovely review. As ever, Pat

dearest Gene ... I like “winter’s moon in crisp cold contrast”... we did have a full moon recently. So pleased you enjoyed the refuge... if only for a moment or so. May your Thanksgiving day be blessed with a table of nourishing treats. truly, Pat
