Chimneys and evergreens
BBQs and residual snow
Picked the brain for certainty
What was lost may be found unknown
Code red while dressed in blue
Spread my bed in this place anew
Mind needs saving, heart is aching
Decisions I'm making have kept you waiting
Journey to the restoration
In the silence we hold a conversation
The nights you yearned and mistook
Will understanding I earn as you read this book
