There was a hearth;
a fire there;
chairs;
and, I remember, love;

all else was there,
and did not need to name itself.

A charmed moment exquisitely captured. A plague on the equine rectums who defiled this gem with low numbers! !

Contentment in short but the imagery was amazing... All we need a few cues from a great mind and you've mastered the art in it.

Peace exudes from these few words - a ten, and no less.
