In Our Room
Burgundy drapes fall
From the window
This fireplace
The embers glow
Muted light
Reflecting
Panelled wood
Soft glowing
Crackle of wood
Flickering firelight
In our room
Our delight
Great Forest Tapestries
Of leaf and bark
Adorn the wall
Our forest
Our trees
In our room
Filled with books and firelight
The snow outside
Still falling
Soft scent of you
My heart,
calling
The soft hue
Of Tiffany lamps
Rugs from Persia
Being with you
In our room too
Billowing clouds
Tall ships sail
Of seas green and blue
Upon the hearth
The dogs lay
Snoring softly in firelight
They enjoyed the walk today
In our room
Flickering firelight
Illuminating the gloom
Snow outside
Soft and white
