to feel content —
a fire, a companion,
a cup of ginger tea,
a little light to find the things we need
in our little cabin, in the rain
No entertainment but the crackle of the flames
and a thermometer to see how much
the heat has risen,
and conversations spanning our surrounding days,
some memories, some plans, and some reflections
It doesn’t need to be as hot as when we’re home —
the little things can warm our hearts and bones.
