Magpie #132 The Big Room, 1948, by Andrew Wyeth


So starkly cold-please light a fire
And while the candles are glowing
We'll warm up our old icy bones 
Watching flakes softly snowing 
This is our safe haven
Away from petty issues
We tell the house-
We've been gone too long 
We really have missed you.


Thanks to Tess Kincaid for this lovely image
