My wood burning stove awaits me
A glowing bed of coals still visible inside
I add a couple of bunched up newspapers
A few dry old walnut shells
I light the match that starts it all
Flames lick upwards through the paper
Ready to catch at the Mallee stump as
The fire starters glow with their heat
Warmth emanates from that wood stove
I hear the roar as everything goes up
It spreads out into my cold kitchen
After a few more minutes
I feel that glorious radiating heat
Warm fingers touch upon my body
I am ready to relax next to
That wonderful, glorious heat!
