If I were a painter I would capture your likeness When sat under yellow light Playing games at the table Or bathed in the flickering glow Of a campfire underneath the night’s sky Your skin a playing field For different shades of red So I might remember With perfect clarity Your contour that I could see Sitting opposite of you
Just a description of a scene from a late night moment around the campfire. I love the light from fire! I truly wish I could paint something like that. Lighting makes something seem so alive. And a campfire creates this moving and warm--almost exclusive--sort of scene. Because the world around the fire is covered in darkness.
