Winter

Diary entry, January 24, 2018

 

Let’s build a fort together.

One made of hopes & dreams,

anchored by fond memories,

surrounded by rows of fabrics

wound in possibilities.

 

At night,

let our fort display the stars.

Each one a tale of our journey,

and constellations of destinations yet traveled.

 

Let our fort wrap us tightly

into each others arms.

And allow dialogue

only in the form of childish whispers,

and delicious kisses.

 

And then, when it is time to sleep,

dear fort,

protect us from the realities of the world.

And gives us warmth

that two gentle souls will carry for eternity.
