Nothing like a warm fire after a walk in nature on a cold Minnesota winter day.
FIRE
spreading to the tips of the daily news
quickly leaping, clinging to dry timber
turning the teepee into a roaring blaze
ready to consume and feed its hunger
sizzling, crackling, sputtering, roaring
suddenly a loud pop releasing steam
with the wind as his true companion
engulfs and greedily devours all given
sizzling, crackling, sputtering, poping
the feasting and sounds begin to slow
left in his wake is a radiating warmth
with glowing ambers of orange hues
..........love looking into the dancing flames of a fireplace or campfire, soothing for the soul
