Reflections By A Fire Poem by Michelle King

I look into the hearth and see
The inferno that gave life to me
A crackling rage of impending doom
The gentle glow that lights the room.

I see the embers in the blaze,
Upon the fire mine eyes do gaze,
I see the turmoil below,
Lit bright by an unearthly glow.

I gaze upon its soft warm light
Disguised in a fury glowing bright
And I feel the comforting warmth
Emerging from the burning hearth

A two-faced Janus in the sparks
Illuminated by glowing arcs
I look into the hearth and see
The fire that gave life to me
