The shy, gracious flames

Whisper songs of elegance

Dancing in the night


They flit to and fro

To the macabre elegy

Of the gentle darkness


The humble nighttime

Greets me 

With chilled

Affectionate hands


The fire 

licks at my face

Swaddling me in docile heat


The reverent breeze

Hums a breathless melody

Cloaking me 

In placid tranquility
