As we sit beside the crackling fire

With dancing flames and embers aglow

May we stay awhile in Silence

Bound by Sacred Oaths made long ago.


North, East, West, South,

Be it wine or tea or water to flow

Four glasses chime in harmony

Notes upon the peaceful breezes blow.


No storms within, without, before;

No shadows bending space and time

Can penetrate beyond Hearths' Floor

The ~Eternal Flame~ burns brightly.
