Take me where your warmth 
sits on my skin like a sweater
hugging me tight in the bitter 
winter of December as I 
wander to the edge of my 
comfort zone into the
wilderness of my mind.
Talk to me when the 
darkness of the night
falls into my thoughts
and I need your voice
to lead me back into 
the sunlight. 
Hold my hand along
the dirt road long after it has 
turned into mud during 
the heavy showers of life.
Take me where the unknown 
Is inviting and walk with me 
down its unfamiliar path 
so no matter where we go, 
your smile is enough to
bring me back home.
