Chimney Smoke by Artsieladie

What escapes from your chimney reveals the contents of your heart, Whether borne of Love or not, of which, your smoke will impart. If Love is present, living, within your beating heart, Puffs of pleasant, sweet smoke from your chimney will depart. But... with a heart void of Love, where darkness upon drapes, From its chimney can only be black smoke that escapes. A heart filled with Love is a heart always free, Where darkness can't prevail nor shackled, make it be. Do check your chimney often for the contents of your smoke. If dark clouds you are puffing, your heart may then be broke. A heart that bears no Love, is a heart not working well For the heart is designated as the place for Love to dwell. One's appearance may be drab, unattractive to the sight, But if the smoke is pleasant, sweet, then the place within's alright. Or one's appearance may have beauty; with a tune of a sweet, inviting song, But if they're puffing black smoke, then there is something wrong. But no need to be disheartened, for hope, there always is, When Love's invited into a heart, Love brings along too, bliss. Once one's heart is exposed to Love and all its Magic, Their former heart of darkness will be no longer sad and tragic. As the heart fills with Love, the once Chimney Smoke of black Will change to pleasant, sweeter puffs, escaping from the stack. Your Chimney Smoke tells the tale, provides the true rendition, Speaks truthfully of your character and about your heart's condition.
