Down the hillsides we stroll. It's so very cold. Ice bites the fingers. The heart that's ablaze. A hawk projects her image 'pon the skyline a glow. Look at the sky sending pictures of snow. Not snowing yet, we must not forget. Snow's on her way by the end of the day. Home we must away. To sit by the fire, ablaze in the hearth. Before the blizzard of cruelty assaults mother earth. Supplies we have many. They're stashed in the larder. We purchased of plenty afore the weather became harder. Standing on the peak at the top of the world, be a stag full of antlers. They are weighing him down. Tis only mine to wonder, where he doth go, To stay safe and warm from the assailing snow. Sanctuary now for me and thee. Inside our refuge. Where the evils of winter have visible charm. Inside all cosy protected from harm. (C) LIVVI
