The Fiery Globe Poem by Red Talgarth

He awoke at night holding her tight
In cold air beneath a clear sky
He could not sleep and held her deep
For hours in warmth as lovers lie.

He was still awake and saw dawn break
Her warm breath cooled in cooler air
He stroked her face and whispered grace
Filled words into her sleeping ear.

She finally woke as the dawn broke
Her bare skin warm beneath the robe
With no cold rain in their domain
They watched the coming fiery globe.
