Smokescreen

A thin wisp
Like fingers entwining
Opening like a budding flower
Skywards

Taking a path, a grey meander
Spooling and curling
Relying on a gentle breeze
For safe passage

The momentary heat on wood
Sublimating to perfumed wonder
Entering my body to 
Ensnare the soul

The scent which evokes
For each a different memory,
A feeling; but to all…
Solace, fortitude, release
