Laying kindred with the darkness
Surrounding a gleaming blaze
No sounds nor whispers to be found
In this gloomy yet tranquil place

Coal and logs  charring slightly
Quaking vibrations haunt the room
Flames flourish amidst the dark
Enriching a comforting gloom.

Lethargically set on the couch,
Observing the blaze in motion
Door sealed to all curious thoughts
And maelstrom like notions.

The blaze now quietly fading,
Fuels exhaust their venting,
Systems set on standby,
As reality is merely denting

Dying flames accompany my dreary sight,
Coal and logs breathe their final ember,
Eyes are rolling, lids now swiftly folding
On this night in mid whenever

For when the sun will again,
Lift its guise off the sparkling sea
Bodies will shiver, and notions will whisper
Time immemorials, Fire Lay With Me.
