An evening by the fire

Listen to the crackle of the fire
as the flames dance in the hearth
many bright colours shimmering 
filling the room with a warm glow
stretched out toasting her fur
one relaxed cat sleeping contently

a hot frothy chocolate drink
steaming on the table beside me
filling the room with a wonderful aroma
helping me to unwind on the sofa
allowing the cat and myself to enjoy
a perfect autumn evening
