Home Fire

 


I'm keeping it with me,

a calm like a coal,
a small, centered glowing,
a soft source of warmth

The size doesn't matter -
its potency dwells here
where it can expand
to fill all of the house

Though it may seem tiny,
it still bursts forth merrily,
brightens and cheers me
and fills me with hope

It dwells at the still point
of all that I am
and centers me
back to my home.
