Fireside Dreams © R. Craig Collins, 1995, 2005/6

The logs crackle, pop, and settle,

the glow warms up the night;

outside the snow flakes lightly dance,

inside it is just right.


A flake clings to the outer pane,

inside, a steamy mug;

the blanket outside is moon white,

inside, we're curled upon the rug.


A quilt drawn up to share the warmth,

gazing beyond the trees;

getting lost in the view of the stars,

as music colors the breeze.


The majesty of winter nights,

all nature reigns above;

while within the cabin, just two,

lost in our spring of love.


Lets run back to the clouds so high,

settled among the pines;

celebrate our love again, sweet-

if only in our minds.


Run away with me, my love

until we are no more;

I want to spend my life with you,

the one I'll ere adore.
