Homespun Cody Cox

A warm fire, A dark starry sky Once upon a time, We fought for our lives Became hard and brittle We were broken glass alone But we returned a joined mosaic I read a weathered book You sew moonlight in your hair Your lips taste like a storm in the sun Your breath on my skin Is softer than the chirps of the crickets I feel your smile I close my book Our eyes meet A gentle crackle A bright glance I feel at peace In the homespun life we’ve made Together
