Delicate, enchanting,
Chrysalis of spirit,
Nourishing the growth,
Grants collapse within it,
Stoker of the fire,
In breath as vision,
Mind's eye capturer,
Warm, steadfast position,
Aromatics of earth,
Flicker of the flame,
As the colours of life,
In movement and shape,
This mild, tempesting babe,
Cupped in gripping ember,
Perpetual timely hologram,
Every winter remembered.
