Fire Euphony

The day slowly wanes,
Our camp is all set,
Stacking the wood,
Pressure we forget.

The first flame flickers,
A tiny little dance,
Growing and burning,
Luring us into a trance.

Slowly we open,
Our pasts float free,
Stories and laughter,
No where to flee.

The fire burns brightly,
Calming our doubts,
Smoke swirls around,
Contentment sprouts.

I see who you are,
Simple and complex,
Outside so calm,
Harmony inside perplex!

Next to the fire,
I see your ease,
The man before me,
I love to tease!

This something that grows,
A fire within,
Open to me, release the flow,
Here we begin!
