Francis Anthony Govia
For you
I send words
wrapped in fresh snow
Caressed by the fingers
of a child
Blown warm by the kiss
of his breath.
To you
I show the frontier of a heart
Journeyed first and map-less
Stoked from embers
of passion
Inspired by the strength
of family.
Fire for fire
Tender for tender
The snow melts
and circles the earth.
