Tales to Come

crisp snow in winter
crunchy steps in a wilderness path
mittened hand in yours

scarlet cardinal chirping greeting
branch giving way, cracking under boots
tiny puffs of breath ascending, disappearing 

sideways smile, stolen sideways glance
sunset coloured hair covering face
stunning smile hidden carefully, shyly

powder white fox chatting under log
swishing a puffy and patient tail
sparkly eyes glittering 

sideways smile, stolen sideway glance
eyes crinkled in silent laughter
smile wide and giddy

stop for a kiss
bigger puffs of breath
laughter floating lazily upwards in cold muffled air

almost to the crackling fire
warmth in love and life and home
wintry naps on couch await

tiny puffs of breath ascending, disappearing
branch giving way, cracking under boots
scarlet cardinal chirping farewell

mittened hand in yours
crunchy steps on a  homeward path
crisp snow in winter
