centering

 

her winter palette favors browns and grays

the fruit salad of her summer wardrobe away

 

somber tones reflect nothing of her moods

rather   an old-world practically   if not tradition

 

the fire lies beneath and within   the hues

merely bank the fire   the heat is there   deep

 

last evening   as a rare overcast settled upon us

and sent us early to books and music

 

it came to me that it was her fire and ice 

that made this cowboy house a home

 

on a cold evening she warmed me

and i had been cold for a very long time

 

she is the heart of it   and the heat of it   

around which our world   my world   centers

There's an art to being understated, true things do not need trumpets to announce their existence, and here is a truthful description.
