Embers

It's about whatever comes to your mind when you read this.

I've got new found hatred for fireworks
All pretty colours and pomp
Gone in the blink of an eye
Never to get close lest you get hurt
Unlike the log fire
Hard work to build up, I know...
But close by to keep you all toasty warm
Chasing away the shadows
Keeping away the predators.
And listening to all your woes and joys alike
It'll burn for hours and hours
Leaving behind embers under the ash
burning for hours more that you can rekindle
Envelope you in it's warm glow
So you can enjoy the stars.
