winter night visitor

we spent a second together

in the dark deep freeze of the night

only the sun was shining bright

and the river was flowing warm

i felt the summer breeze on my face

and your smile in my heart

as i took the wheel of the resurrected boat, shiny turquoise and white

gleaming in the sunshine

and pointed the bow towards Bathtub Bay

and as we took a spin around Rusho

i could see the entirety of the tree line

and the lily pads floating

as we were alone together in our own moment of sunshiny glory

we spent a second together

in the dark deep freeze of the night

only the sun was shining bright

and the river was flowing warm

i never could truly see your face

but my heart tells me you were there
