Thankful

I am thankful for my boy
Grateful for the years and joy
Holding you. Comforting you
Teaching you to be now man

I am thankful for mom.
Spread her wings and kept me in
Closed her arms around me.
Everything will be ok son.

I am thankful for a friend that listens
No judgement. Just listens as I listen.

I am thankful for someone I don't know
That writes beautifully for me.

I am thankful for a seed that makes a tree
Growing and giving me shade I may need.

Sitting under leaves as I write.

Perhaps I'm not alone.

This side of the fire
There was a glow
Reflecting the flames
Red orange
It was her face
Befallen on a distant gaze
While the fire burned
She stared at it
And he  her
In-between the crackles
And embers dancing in the heat
This side of the fire
There was a fire
You didn't see
When the fire burned
Her lips looked parched
For a drink
She looked hotter than the fire
Could ever be
And he burned his heart
On the temperature
This side of the fire
Desire burned into the night
I heard a crash
A burn
And a dive...



Cloud of smoke
