Ann Peck Poet Rhyme

Thinking of You

Sitting with someone, a warm, open fire.
Someone else adds a fresh log or two.
I watch sparks climbing fire's golden spire,
more lovely when once I watched with you.
Star-crusted sky, moon a silken sphere;
tears fill my eyes...I wish you were here

Michelle Faulkner March 24, 2022 at 2:22 PM This is so delicate and wistful of memories of the one you miss, yes things are more lovely when you share them with your special somebody~ Ann Peck March 25, 2022 at 9:52 AM Thanks, Michelle. My oldest son used to have bonfires, but he moved to the mountains--too many trees that might catch a spark.
