A poem for the season
« on: October 22, 2018, 09:36:36 AM »


           :campfire:...The Fire... :campfire:
 
The night is dark but I have a friend that keeps the dark at bay
 
warm and friendly it draws me close sending dark and cold away


I watch the flames as they dance and play turning wood to coals of red
 
The glow soon fades and the cold creeps in reminding me it must be fed


As I stare so deep into the flames, what do I expect to see?

could it be ghost from long ago that are waiting to speak to me?
 

Men have stared into such flames for hundreds or thousands of years
 
In woods at night the bravest man can know his inner fears
 

But I have a friend so I fear not, for it keeps me in warmth and light

I am safe and warm in the friendly glow.. of my fire... throughout the night   

We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Life is like a wet sponge, you gotta squeeze it until you get every drop it has to offer

Ron,
You need to gather all of your poems into one volume and see about getting them published. You are a good writer.

I totally agree.  :thumbsup:
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

Poems take a bit to read and decipher, but in the end they can be very inspiring. Thanks Ron.

I read this sitting in the middle of the WV outback at night. The only reason I could read it is I happen to be on the top of the mountain where I happen to get a signal. A coyote just finished howling his lungs out as I sit by the fire before turning in so I can awaken to the morning hunt. Simply awesome read. Great job!
