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
