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

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

You take these 21 words, place them on paper via pen (of course) , and Paint a love scene that i can picture in my Mind's eye, as i comment here.As simple as that, that is unless i refer to my own fabricated diction, but everyone has their right to opinion, & i like this piece, and though I have not checked 'word origin' I will go on my admiration for you &assume all is what it should be, Michael...As usual, a masterfuly, succinct work; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; POPEYE, THE tRaIlBlAzEr

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.
