Poem

(From: Beyond the Reach of Shadow)

Firelight

indescribable joy

sitting inside by a warm crackling fire

in time before time

in another world previous

sitting within the circle of vision

not yet extended

not yet apprehended

nor amended

we sit

soft music, candles, and a cup of hot tea

caught between love and reality

content and unspent

red orange the heat, indescribable fire

blue flamed sensations, such solace

the moments secured

before aphasia strangled

before insanity grounded

hobbled

implanted its frozen expanse

unbreakable

except when remembering

former years

too brief

moments almost never known

two lighting the night

their fuel sufficient
