The warming, blazing flame blows
The heat feels like a hug from behind
The shape of the fire is rich, as smooth as it flows
The smell of the crackling, burning wood
Fills my nose with this smell of hope
The color, vivid and rich
Brings me to a peaceful calm state
Fire is like a person
The more you add, the more it grows
The difference will show.
