Happy writing!

Through the window 

hearing the crackle of the fire

in it`s large stone hearth

slowly warming up the cottage 

alone on this cold earth

distant howl of a wolf is heard

in this forgotten land

a lonely figure sits on his own

with his faithful mutt to hand

kettle steams beside the fire

as he stretches our to pour

the hot brew to have with bread

as the wind shakes the door

pale dim light from a candle

illuminates a few old charts

quill and ink placed nearby 

not much else to do in these parts

rattling panes stir the dog

as fierce gusts of wind hit hard

further into the darkness

put each of them on their guard

branches brush across the window

and the flames flicker madly

eyes darting around the dark room

he looks down at his dog gladly

watching them from my safe spot

this scene really touches my heart

a man with his mutt sat is darkness

companions that will never be apart
