A soul can literally sit watching for hours on end
Next to the flickering light of a camp fire bright
Under out back skies full of stars that are so high
But still clearer than any place are they at night
As the flames they dance in perfect motion always
How one with company or even camped there on ones own
Can without noticing anything at all just remembering
Almost everywhere every place and everyone ones known
How the most beautiful words of poetry and lyric come
And at that time one swears to remember them all until
But just like most life's magic things and moments grand
To remember most of them at all I guess one never will
Almost as if dream time dancing of the flickering flames
They dance wildly captivating with charisma in their way
One sits and thinks and watches them silently for hours
Sometimes and almost until the early coming of the day
Its such a wonderful magic and such a majestic experience
Sitting watching the dancing of camp fire flames at night
With the peace of mind one then can freely know and find
Ever so tranquilly spending the night by a camp fire bright.
