Campfire | A Poem

CAMPFIRE

A piece of night;

A million pixel-points

Shine down through

A feathered chimney of pine.

Hypnotic flicker

Of friendly flame,

Logs snap as sparks

Rise to try and meet the stars.

Mountain hush of night birds

And whispering stream

Entrance the soul with

Cool, comforting contentment;

They immolate

And wash away my cares.
