Camp Fire

The heat of its breath pours into me fighting off the chills of the night.

The cold finger tips of the mid night hours cloak cover over the land.

Stretching out my hands, the warmth penetrates my clothes making me long for more.

The shadows linger along every tree watching and waiting in silence.

Senses are heightened taking in the pleasure of what will come.

Breathing seems useless as the revelation of stillness comes over me.

Time is nothing more than a memory stored in a distant fading whisper.

Smoke caresses the air as the water licks away the flames.

Sleep is beckoning this soul to rest at last.

You bring back the cool autumn nights and the bon fires after dark of years gone by. I'm ready for more.

It is well past the mid-night hour, now; too much coffee-- I think. Yet sleep beckons, dreams await and my unconscious longs to surface once more to rule the night. I love the line, "Time is nothing more than a memory stored in a distant fading whisper." Oh, such poetic sense you have my friend. We will meet, perhaps, in a fare, far dream where only poets conven.

Nicely done, too many lines to pick just one, great images as well, be well

Poetry is what is lost in translation.
