Fire Pit By Swift Creek

Light dims except in the flames of the ring of fire. Stars shine brighter still Hopes seem possible Ease takes over and washes away the cares of the past week. Swiftly down the current to the sea Fire pit by swift creek warm our hearts, bond our family tightly tonight Forever, eternally bound. Silhouttes appear against the moonbeams Herring, mallard pair, chimney swift Splash....Splash!! Who? what?? Homeward bound leave the night creatures to their domain.

Wonderful Doris, love the camp fire theme. also the relaxing feeling you inject to the reader. Harry. Just like to say Doris, when i read some of your comments on soupers poems, makes me smile so, you have a wonderful sense of humour. Harry
