out of power
out of type
so many blogs
so much hype
the fire in its place
lays words of grace
no hum
no ho
take in
the glow
the fire in its place
lays words of grace
thoughts like smoke
up they flue
nothing else
to do
warm fire in its place
such grace

>Way cool beans-love my fires and your 55 ! Thanks.
>The fire in its placelays words of grace…Yes! I love those particular lines. And now, I'm looking for the marshmallows.
>Had to do some catching up Jerry. all of these pieces are at turns humbling, humorous and warming. Thanks for that.
>I hope the power is restored and you're not too cold. There is something lovely (and spirit restoring) getting back to the basics like fires and quiet.
>So cold inside You can see your breathThank God for fireplacesOr else you'd catch your Death!Sorry about the Power, Spring is just around the corner.Thanks for playing, your a trooper, Have a Kick Ass Week-End.
>I feel your pain, Jerry.We used to lose power regularly when we lived in Southfield. A fireplace is a real blessing in times like that!(We'd be screwed if we lost power now – we've got no fireplace in our Westland home!)
>i like the heat from a wood fire.
>thoughts like smoke, having nothing else to do…i like this..think i could have use for a cozy fire as well..
>That was a very satisfying read.
