Reaching Past Winter

Reaching your moments
Deep in the thoughts of you
Stretching out to wonder
At the shadow
Of who you were
When you were
And where you are

Grasping this bridge
Your eyes as they wander
Into a world
I have yet to see

Surrendering the cold places
Shadows of time
Slinking into the constant
Chattering I do not hear
Where your music
When your song
Was different

Here is this open
Canyon of my mind
Waiting to journey
Along the way with you

Today the melody
Tonight the wine
Where this flame
Crackling quiet for us
Helping us find room
In a new space
Reaching past winter
