The weather where
you are
Is not the weather where
I am

For you are far away
and I am not
I am just here

Snow falls, wind picks up in one place
Pumpkin vines wither, glazed
with frost, in another

Vast sweep of plains and mountains
Gold and purple between us
and time, and time, and time

And yet, the weather
of the heart is steady
and sweet

Your words play upon the strings of my heart as a bow drawn across frets of time

The music there plays sweet and pure and steady til the ends of all that matters

And it sings to me, "Trust in love and it will take you where you need to go."

I listen knowing that truth dwells there too....

What Joy, Shangri-La and the warmth of your arms
