Banked fires, smoldering taut;
consuming, devouring flames.
Dancing flicks of orange blue,
power barely tames.
Inside, upside, all around-
bright heat radiates.
Fascinates the senses,
and never satiates.
Glowing embers,
sparking wood,
showers of light
under fireplace hood.
In the deep of winter
when snow-sky's your dome,
swaddled in cocooned warmth
near the hearth at home.
