Snowblinded and frostbitten <br />I retreat from the Siberian man <br />Thawing <br />Toward a new spring <br />Of an old love <br />I arrive wet and bedraggled <br />To the realm of a familiar hearth <br />An oasis of kindness and warmth <br />Welcomes <br />My restless injured spirit <br />I kneel humbled by your steady fire <br />Where I quietly begin to heal and see again <br />Your warm gentle heart <br />Where once I had loved <br />So fiercely <br />And lost in a winters storm <br />Of my discontent<br /><br />Simone Inez Harriman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/siberian-man/
