The Hearth, Again



The Hearth, Again

A few more sods on the sleepy fire
The blue smoke mood to ponder
A glass to lip, the substitute kiss
The wine, westward, wanders

A second verse, an echo ode
The blue turf voice reciting
The embracing mist, again amiss
Voice, weeping, writing

The third I know, the echo too
A lonely flame ascending
The purple scarf, mute to grey
The scent of love amending

Quatrain full, the sonnet poised
Ending lines frustrate me
I dread awake, the dampened turf
The hearth, assorted debris

As in a bridge, new to cross
The elusive shore does find you
The madness of the portrait eye
The sadness of a drifting hue
