Hearth - A Poem
By Alice Myers
Next to the blazing hearth she sits alone
Firelight dances across her eyes
The warm glow embraces her body, even the jawbone
Invincible to the howling winds of the skies
and thunderous roars of gloom
Tenderness radiates from the flames
Wood crackling like laughter in a playroom
The smoky haze smelling like grandma’s cookies
​
Ashes of despair blown away by the wind
Leaving burning feelings of love and hope
An eternal fire she can always find
Next to the blazing hearth she feels at home.
