Grounded

Driving in the snow at night
is like flying through the stars.
You asked for a ride
and I was happy to come
because I did not want you walking
in this weather.

So I flew to you
and when I landed
you were there-
cheeks pink with cold
and eyes shining.

You and your smile
are the only reason
I can stop flying through this night-
beautifully grounded by you
next to me.
