The Hearth of Your Home

Fireplaces

Fire is my life, fire is my hope, fire is my everything. Confusion, whipping, whirling never ending. Always colder, always harder, cruel and devastating all in one. Fire is my life, fire is my hope, fire is my everything. Light, I need a light to keep at bay the ever-darkening hour. Searching for warmth, searching to hide, searching to survive. Fire is my life, fire is my hope, fire is my everything. A leaf, a twig, anything to find a way. At last a flame, a hope to guide me from my doom. Fire is my life, fire is my hope, fire is my everything. The light is hungry devouring all in its path and growing in strength. Fire was my life, fire was my hope, fire was my everything.

{Angelic Warrior}

There is something burning

in my heart

Spreading like a forest fire

It engulfs my body and my

mind
