The light in air traveling the sky

A forest silhouette
vanishes
as the last powdery cloud
sneaks through the closing
curtain of night

with mountains
all gone 
all shifted beneath the
golden eye of the fire
we dream simply
to ourselves

Inseparable
from the earth
underneath leaves
and the light in air
traveling the sky

What provoked the fire I wonder...

Keda said...

so much to think and wonder about with this poem: writting inspires peace through rythm and words, but the fire and the forest dissapearing says that perhaps there is no peace, but then again 'we dream simply'... love it.

Thanks all for the comments. This was inspired by a two day camping trip in virginia with one night in the woods. I hadn't done anything like that since I was in my teens so it was fun but still a tiny bit spooky :)
