A sonnet of ice and fire

Some days are filled with flame,

Warm and safe like the embrace of a campfire among friends.

Some days are ice,

Frozen over,

Cold and heartless where compassion ends.

But whatever may be the day,

Hot or cold,

It is forever warm in the hearts of others.

You are the campfire by which friends gather,

All those in your embrace feel loved and complete.

When the days grow cold and your light dims in the frigid chill,

Let me be a cure to remove your ill.

I will fill your shivering body with the flame you spark likewise in me,

That illuminates when I feel alone.

Do not let your heat be wasted on the closed cold that batters away at you,

But walk forward with light and peace from the flames that fill and support your own.

Know you are safe in the shelter of my heat,

It will be there however close your own is to being extinguished,

It will burn stronger when the cold is overcome and vanquished.

The heat you exude inspires these words,

In light they alight on the page,

As the time it took to bring them to life felt like an age.
