Bonfires
There is something about a bonfire
that soon surpasses Summer's splendid joys;
those warm, yet soothing sunny days,
with crimson sunsets, balmy moonlit nights-
which in their time, will all come to an end.
Then we'll be watching blazing logs of wood
aglow with fire and brilliant dancing flames
beneath the polished, iridescent moon-
uplifting, warming, comforting Fall's chill-
while one by one, we freely gather 'round.
The bonfire's glow inspirits unity,
as we accept farewell to summer past-
preparing for those unique autumn gifts;
enjoying harvests, fellowship, and love-
and joyous holidays that follow soon.
