A candle lights
The room
Shadows
Flit around
A fire lit
For warmth
The flames
Dancing with
Crackling sounds

While out side

Dark is the night
Black are the clouds
Lightening strikes
Thunder roars
A tree has been
Struck down
Torrential rain
Pounds upon
The ground
The wind
So strong
Blowing everything
Around

Back inside

Tranquillity and peace
Cosy and warm
Safely inside
Safe from
The storm
The crackling fire
Keeping us warm
