in the northern woods sunshine
and steep winding roads
in twinkling lake water
goodbyes and hellos
in brisk autumn breezes
the leaves and pinecones
fireside stories
and moonlit shadows
in the powder dust snow
and frostbitten air
up to the hillside
please, follow me there
to nights on the water
and days in the sand
mid-mornings in winter
and spring in my hand
in the whispers of past
and the stars in the sky
the beat in my chest
and the brown of my eyes
in the crinkle of brows
and each fingertip kiss
in the corner of smiles
you must promise me this
in every sweet nothing
in dreams as you sleep
the box in your bedroom
is my love to keep
in each time we part
in my voice as I say,
tucked into your heart,
“and here, let me stay”
