A storm on the winter’s edge
Of love
The long days
And longer nights
Frozen in the apparition of a lost dream
The emotions run high
Like velvet castings
Over a mountaintop
Where love is sleeping
For I am in the middle of a snowflake
And a springtime raindrop
Bring me your love
Give me
The freedom
Of a wind filled gale
The clean gust
To billow within
The center of a tall white sail
On a ship's mass
Rapture my soul in peace
Fill me with love
And let the seasons
Fall where
They must
And it is I
Who still loves you
On the edge
Of a winters storm..
