Let's Face the Storm

A light breathes through the window,
wakes the dust on our piano
and heats the room without invitation.
The occupancy has been taken,
where a dream lays and our hearts will run.

Our children are all sleeping,
they've been jaunting in Malasia,
in the garden by the shed, to hunt for bears.
The youngest will refuse to get scared,
she teaches us to never be scared.

Let's bathe in Isafjordur,
we can sing this on together,
and remember when you cried and you wrote me.
The words that you inscribed speak endlessly,
"Let's face the storm to see the sea."

The fire is wild with life
and Snow falls round our bed
Embraced by Autumn's paint
This cold is warm enough.

The storm is far behind us and we're living in the sea, now.
