The light of its bright orange glow captures me
As love captures a lonesome heart
Drawing me in with its promise of comfort
I am now its captive
I forget all else, absorbed by this hypnotic sight
Relaxed by the warm dancing flames, floating across the hot wood
The crackling logs beneath their feet filter warmth into the air
All the stress of the day melts away like hot candle wax
My eyelids become heavy, burdened with the tiredness of the day
Relaxed, warmed, and comforted by the fire
I can no longer stay awake
The fire working its magic on me
Wrapping me in its arm’s of warmth
Slowly I drift into the magical world of dreams
