By the Fireplace
In ember's glow, quietly, we sit,
Whispers in the warmth, softly transmit.
Shadows dance, on walls, they lightly flit,
In the silence, our thoughts gently knit.
Flames flicker, tales of old they recite,
In their warmth, our hearts take flight.
By the fireplace, in the night's quiet light,
Serenity found, in this cozy sight.
