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

πŸ”₯πŸͺ΅πŸ”₯πŸ•―οΈπŸ”₯🏠πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸͺ΅πŸ”₯πŸ•―οΈπŸ”₯🏠πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸͺ΅πŸ”₯πŸ•―οΈπŸ”₯🏠

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.
