At The Hearth In Firelight

The parchment worn in the finding of my fingers
Untied ribbons, wound of many dreams still lingers
Secret sanctum notes, on hobbled knees repent
Songs of aching arms among the trees that won’t relent

Night, the novice’ heart returns to write
Verse in turn to triumph by the firelight

Numb, the rhythm flushed from deep within set free
Pulsing to the page, become a sage of certainty
Settled down in visions simmered quietly revive
Subtle in a moment’s peek, these sentiments alive

Night, the novice’ heart returns to write
Verse in turn to triumph by the firelight

Weighted words imprint of images so strong
Flicker in the molten waves that linger on
Warm upon the cheek, the spell is cast
Songs of aching arms set free at last

Night, the novice’ heart returns to write
Verse in turn to triumph by the firelight

I enjoyed the wording and the way it was written. Heavenly written.

(In)   night, the novice’ heart returns to write
Verse in turn to triumph by the firelight

My only suggestion in parentheses and those to stanzas summed it up alot.
