Campfire Creation

Thoughts evoked by watching a fire

Campfire Creation
Men of fire creak and crackle
upon a wooden stage
as they twist and leap
in consuming passion
with enchanting steps, softly

Wreaths of smoke, the partners
swirl in silent rythm
while the emblazened dancers
bow their heads in spriteful glee
in the time told dance, quickly

And above, the spotlight full
the old man with smile wide
the soft light falls from the heavens
to bathe the enfrenzied figures
A dance of life, of death, creation
