Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

Campfires Dance

The campfire radiated warmth 
in the chilled night
As excitement of the flames 
danced across dark tree trunks
Wisps of silver grey smoke 
moved in rhythm matching 
every curve and dip
Mesmerizing glowing orange embers
ascend on nature's breath
whispering kisses making the 
gentle breeze looked flushed
All leaving one feeling intoxicated 
watching this warm breathtaking dance
