Comfort Comes

 

Comfort Comes

Comfort comes in the cold climate
Wintry throes of whistling winds
pound impatiently at your window.
This is where the comfort begins.

The requirement takes some room.
Make way for your warmest throw.
It takes a subtle dance of sweaters
to be in the cold comfort know.

Don't let bare hands deceive you,
they need some comfort too.
Wrap them around a hot cup of tea,
warming your inside outside through.

A smooth pen will do quite nicely -
Poised above the present page
of your writing or reading, thoughtfully
gleaning from thy book, thy sage.

The evidence rises on the glass of windows,
icy frost growing upwards, looking in
at your candle-lit room, and cosy nook,
where we find you, reading yet again.
