Companions of the winter
Iced externals
Luke warm internals
Everybody needs a body
Or a hot bowl of soup
Maybe a steamy shower
The passionate memory
Of a lover
An orange, yellow and blue fire
Flames keeping rhythm with the wind
A wool scarf
A favorite comforter
Some spooley socks, preferably
In bright and holiday colors
A book read by the window
While grasping at the tiniest reflection
Of the yellow streamers
Through the grey sky
Thoughts of pleasant times
Or hot cocoa with bobbing, gooey, miniature marshmallows
A caring touch, hug, embrace
To warm the heart.
