The Dragon Living In Our Stove

It breathes, it’s fire glowing, embers sowing,, it only takes a spark of knowing!

By Brian HurlburtPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

We hear it, sometimes breathing,

Sometimes hissing, sometimes roaring!

It breathes fire,

The Dragon in our Stove.

Sometimes when it‘s gone,

All we see are charred remains!

It’s a life force!

The Dragonin our Stove!

It breathes,

It’s fire glowing, embers sowing!

The Dragon in our Stove.

It only takes a spark of knowing!

Knowing it not only roars, but warms!

Warms our hearts, and our homes!

The Dragon in our Stove.

Through the Winter, it sustains us!

The Dragon in our Stove.

In the Spring it seems to leave Us

Nothing left to Burn!

Nothng to Consume!

For the Dragon in our Stove.

Returning only when the Seasons turn

Till once Again, it returns!

Falling back into it‘s hiding place.

The Dragon in our stove.

Then, when, Winter’s Chill

Calls again, we’re warmed,

Knowing We’re protected
