Branches wave at me through the depths of a cloud-domed darkened dawn.
Wear my worn out trainers for a casual day again, 
Or harsh splitting boots if there’ll be ice on the floor.
I can’t slip into the road again and spill my confidence.

I don’t want to go, I just want to live in your warm quiet arms again.
The valley where shattered sun fragments fold and puddle into a day.

Breeze into my brain,
Like a street curb in summer,
As sweat dotted handlebars slip,
From a loose untroubled grip,
Feel the cool of the shade and I welcome it.
