Two Friends

Two friends
one after another
songs from the iPod

One sings of Colorado
the other about friends
they remind me it's been too long
since I've seen them

Too long
since they've made a CD
Too long
since I've thanked them
or asked for another

The birds outside
are fed
They stand strong against the snow
as darkness falls
and the long night begins

Inside is warmth and light
and music and peace
and gratitude

and now Harry Manx sings
"Bring That Thing Back Home."
