A Comfortable Room

A Comfortable Room

Such a comfortable room,

The fire fading fast,

Soft light an orange glow,

Casts curious shadows,

Watching from the wall,

Heat hisses through,

Remnants of wood,

Energy of this tree,

Nearly complete,

As I wait I wonder where,

It grew,

From seed to branches tall,

Did green leaves,

Gold sunbeams drink,

Only to lend comfort,

To my room,

In warm gray ashes lay,

What is used,

Smoke carried all moisture away,

A final ember so small,

Lights  fully my room,

In a moment all is dark,

So bright this ember’s end
