What is it about a fireplace <br />that draws you to its flame? <br />Is it the warmth created <br />like a sun that came <br />and shone upon your body <br />with the intensity of heat? <br />Or is it the comfortable feeling <br />which makes you feel replete? <br /> <br />The flicker and the crackle, <br />the sizzle that you hear <br />invites your senses to remain <br />close to the hearth and peer <br />hypnotically tranquilized <br />quietly taking a rest <br />like a bird in sunshine <br />in a cozy, cozy nest.<br /><br />Edwina Reizer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-fireplace-4/
