.

My happiness, lives at

home here with me.

We build a small fire for

these soggy wet days of

autumn rain.

That's where we roast nuts,

boil thick broths to drink,

and cook delicious things on

skewers.

We sit crosslegged so close

to the flames that we can feel

the heat on our face.

We gaze dreamily at the

flickering flames.

We watch hot embers glow.

Yesterday we learned how to know

That tomorrow will surely be snow!

It's true! Our skis stand in

the corner ready to go,

That's how we know it is so!
