Around The Campfire
Rising from the fire like a phoenix,
hot cinders morph into crimson darts.
And shadows roam the fringes of light,
extinguishing any fledgling sparks.
Scarlet splashes in the molten flames
as cerise and chartreuse ride the waves.
And all eyes follow their rhythmic flow,
for their hypnotic beauty enslaves.
Bursts of laughter and bravado bond
in the scary tales that haunt the night.
And comradery clamors to be heard,
amongst everyone huddled up tight.
Tranquility's intoxicating,
pacifying your soul with its peace.
And it feels like genuine magic
when worries and anxieties cease.
A brotherhood fuels the campfire,
united by its flickering flames.
And fragile friendships rekindled;
are free from frustration and life's games.
