You open the 
tired door-
 here's a fading, frostbitten 
thimble of stardust rain 
perched 
in my shaking hand

 offered with a grin and

 your honey haze 
your gentle hand
 your warmth 
your love

 together we build it up into

 a swirling aspen bloom 

we nestled it 
alongside your ponies- 

another gift to 
keep eternal for 
only us two 
to ever know
