Warmth & Safety

---

you know the type of love

that has you up at 8AM

chopping veggies for the perfect omelet

following beaver trails along the river

as the sun rises

mucking your boots and

stomping thru icy puddles to clean them

noticing the difference between the green

of sunflower sprouts and mossy stones

taking photos of nothing

but dirt n water n trees

all of this on a morning when you

woke up alone

her warmth a memory

her safety a song

in your waking heart
