Calefaction

++++++++++++++++++++++

You are the Gauge,

That Measures My Summer,

All is Warm in Your Gaze,

A Heat that doesn't Swelter.

You Carry the Sun's Smile,

Into the Cold Depths of Winter,

I am Warmed in the Drifting Snow,

By Your Giggles' Shimmer,

The Melody of Your Voice,

Is the Pitter-Patter of Rain,

The Promise of a New Faith,

That Staves all Past Pain,

The Hint of Your Favour,

A Quotientless Question,

My Fears Fester Cold,

Amidst this Tall Bastion,

Just a Glance Toward,

Is What This Fool asks,

To Enlighten his Ignorance,

And Take His Fear to Task,

Save One from Himself,

Nature's Seasoned Queen,

Shine a Realmless Knight,

Back to an Unseen Gleam,

It's been a long time since I have written something like this. Time it seems, is relentless in its path forward. I have let it carry me along it's river without stopping to notice what is around me for a long time. This poem is homage to a Muse rediscovered.
