Near My Fireplace

Near My Fireplace

I lean my face near the burning fireplace
As I embrace the warmth that gives me grace
And base my thoughts upon the human race
I keep up pace in my small comfort space
And unlace evil climbing the staircase
To chase our souls that leave a loving trace.

Well done, Wingman. I don't have a fireplace anymore but I do enjoy a nice campfire. Good luck my friend:)
