The Bonfire
The flame at the end of the way guides us
We’re in twos being careful as not to
Find ourselves outside of this treacherous
Path that we usually walk on, our blues
The walkway doesn’t seem this bad at day
But at night with only the small glare down
The way, fears envelope all that I say,
My friend flitters next to me as she frowns
Two by two we walk towards the great fire
Everything seems to be aligned forward
Straight to the bonfire where we do aspire
Openness of the light feels free toward
As we circle the incredible heat
Our hearts melt together as a warming
Melting pot and we are the souls on beat
We are copasetic and quite calming
What will become of us all, our small clan
Energetic this fire entraps our souls
Will there be bad influences that can
Break us down and hollers in the harsh knolls
Consumed by the fires of heaven we walk
We move along with a purpose like none
Enchantments we create to move our talk
She enlightens me, which is quite handsome
The power of the spark draws many in
A warm experience, a grand shower
Which has shown a field of a working spin
Our life has been lowered by this tower
