On this misty night
Trees are backlit mystically
She cannot welcome
Winter with any warmth
Yet, when you are near
The biting wind is forgiven
The heaviness of her coat doesn’t matter
There is a warm fire in her heart
It glows
Beauty finds its way into her life
More emotion than she ere allowed
She is open and honest to herself;
True to you though you don’t know
She may never use the words
But she shows you every day
Trust this to effortlessly
Wash away her
Useless fortresses
She stands exposed and shy
Can you see her
On this misty night?
