Sitting in Front of the Fireplace

In the heart of winter's embrace,
By the fireplace, I find my space.
Flames dance with a lively grace,
Warming the air, my cold thoughts erase.

Outside, the world may chill and freeze,
But here, I'm held in warmth's gentle tease.
The fire crackles, whispers in the breeze,
Comforting as a soft, velvety fleece.

The glow reflects in my contemplative eyes,
Illuminating dreams under the evening skies.
In this moment, my spirit flies,
On wings of fire, where hope never dies.

I'm ensconced in a cocoon of light,
Where shadows play in the waning night.
And in this serene, flickering sight,
I find solace, in the fireplace's bright.
