BY THE FIRESIDE

Gather, gathering, gathered we are

By the fireside, from every side

With a united spirit in arts

A magnified voice of hope

And a ratified treaty of peace

By the fireside like the riverside

We lay our burdens to be forgotten

We shed our tears heaped over the years

We heal our pains with antics of gain

And we crunch with faith, driven by fate

 

By the fireside, then or now,

Rains the stories of days, of people and of places

The stories of love, of freedom and of peace

By the fireside with burning desire,

Warms our soul to be free from control

By the fireside wholly without strife,

I see the brothers and sisters overjoyed

Across the bridges of pain, of hate and of losing

To the other side where resides, more to gain

And where dreams cross streams to realms

By the fireside in the trough of fire-tides

Blazes the flames of divine creativity

Coated in the flames of cosmic relativity

Penning pieces with poetic furnishes

Inspiring the desire to never retire

By the fireside with glimmering firelights,

Hovers our bloated thoughts of reality

Like arrows of furrows in rows

Stand firm brothers and sisters

We can realize our dreams by the fireworks

by the fireside
