A quick, deliberate crumpling and placing

Lean-to twigs placed round and over

Damper open for sending sparks

A soft blow


Wooden fortress ablaze and falling inward

Taken from small hands,

a log from the porch

split and seasoned

added to flame

A rush,



Damper pulled tight

the glass closed

Heat abiding.

Beautiful post, Hannah. I can see it so well.
I would love to sit by that fire with you, talking about babies and children's books and nature and life.

Children are a blessing from the Lord....Pictures of your children are so sweet.
Your little blonde guy looks a little ornary!! I have one of those at my home,too.
By the way, where did your get your metal table? I really like it.
Resting in Him,

Wouldn't that be nice Lynn!
Kim, the table is my Dad's. He got it and four matchy chairs at an antique mill, pretty cheap. The little blond was actually having a good day!
