Campfire

So here we are
just you and I;
And of course the endless blanket of stars we find ourselves under
A reflecting moon bouncing off the surface of a nearby lake
and a campfire.

A strong fire once existed.
it was unpredictable in force, and bold in its nature
but as the sun faded behind a nearby mountain range
the flames receded.
and all of the many embers that popped in every direction from atop the fire
grew fewer in number.
until so few were left that you could not help but trace their route
watching them say their final good-bye

and it made me think that we are all embers;
doing our own unique dance
acquainting ourselves with one another
before finally fading out of the picture
and finally,
I was not scared by this.
