The Fire

Gazing into the fire, I see only your face reflecting in the flames.

The oranges and reds only remind me of your soft, golden hair.

The occasional blue flame reminds me that I miss you.

I listen to the snapping of the logs as they burn and hear your voice softly calling to me - “I love you, my dearest… I love you!”

Would that I could walk through the fire and meet you on the other side… That we could embrace and kindle our own flames.

But… all that I see is the night and, all I have to keep myself warm is the fire.
