Warmth

Sitting in front of the woodstove fire In the warmth that does inspire Thoughts like flames, comfort to be Kept safe from the cold that I flee Not the beauty of the snow outside Only cruelty that makes me hide Long enough to find my inner voice To speak for those without a choice Winter falls on many with pain As icicles drip teardrops like rain It is the warmth everyone longs for The stability which allows us to soar Heidi Sands 12/8/18

one of the most beautiful things that some humans have is empathy, it's sad not all do

If they can read your poem..warmth of your words would be comforting to those looking for a voice. Well said, Heidi.

Lovely thought provoking verse Heidi, It reminded me of all the homeless people I saw last week in Cardiff city, many not there by choice. It's a cruel world we live in. Tom.
