"Not Much Further Now"


it's not much further now
i can feel the cool air on my skin
my breath floating like a misty fog
in front of me
.
the quiet stillness of winter coming
above me around me
beneath my feet as heavy boots crunch
the fallen autumn leaves
.
not much further now
til i reach home
where the fires are warm
and the chill can no longer
touch my bones
.
not much further now
til you're in my arms
and all the troubles of
the world
.
are far away
.
