In a Place Above the Pines

Whistling winds sway the mind’s restless pines

A chill once familiar still lingers in the air

I pray to remember when seasons changed slowly

Memories are the light that returns from above

Embracing skin that shivers from frigid thought

Spring’s awakening blossomed gently

Into promises of summer, forever eternal

We were never afraid to fall victim to the frost

Memories are the light that shines brighter than fear

Breathing life to wild flowers that color the brightest days

Weathered hearts aged with grief beat slow

The rage of winter stirred in hollowed chest

You held me still in the warmth of your fire

Memories are the light that fill empty spaces

Giving a heart, forever full of hope, a reason to race

Flickering embers dance into darkness

Burnt luminescence paints the sky with stars

Our love, the night’s brightest constellation

These memories are the light that I always hold close

Floating weightless in the wonder of your atmosphere

In a place above the pines
