The Hearth of Peace
Poetry on Find Peace in Unexpected Places

We find peace and renewal where we least expect.--Michelle Liew
🔥🪵🔥🕯️🔥🏠🔥🔥🪵🔥🕯️🔥🏠🔥🔥🪵🔥🕯️🔥🏠
The fireplace glows, its hearth alight,
A dazzling display in quiet night.
The ashes fly as the heat subsides,
And something walks where truth does hide.
🔥🪵🔥🕯️🔥🏠🔥🔥🪵🔥🕯️🔥🏠🔥🔥🪵🔥🕯️🔥🏠
What was once bright light, meets its demise
And in the stillness, a surprise
Among charred remains, a spark
Hidden in shadows, black and dark
🔥🪵🔥🕯️🔥🏠🔥🔥🪵🔥🕯️🔥🏠🔥🔥🪵🔥🕯️🔥🏠
The spark glows, not seen by eyes,
Its growth concealed, meant for the wise.
Though its light is dim, heat does reside
In its heart, peace abides.
