The Jack Frost chill certainly perpetuates a frown.
Wrapped up in blankets just isn't quite enough.
Warmth is never the same without your touch.
I've tried space heaters and wool hats to fill the void.
A cold heart and hard back often left me annoyed.
I ran out of soup and I'm tired of hot tea.

All I need is a hug to piece together what was missing.
An audience with you is all that I'm wishing.
All that I envision is a moment of your grace.
The energy from your presence alone will send me to another place.
I close my eyes and await this feeling so great.
Now if only you could soon awake.
