The Fire Burns
Poems
Nov 2016
Light in the Storm
The gentle smell of smoke
I watch it curl out of crystal
and slowly snake
towards the ceiling
The flickering light
casting moving shadows
across the room
bringing darkness to life
The sound of thunder
in the distance
and the dripping rain
falling on the sidewalk
The green oil
in its container
slowly drawing
up the wick
Providing light
and comfort
to the family
huddled around
