Nature of things

Wrote this in thailand

How beautiful the Fire's embers are

Dashed up in the air like burning stars

Chasing specters of memory

Through sprawling fields of history

On boughs of a brand new day's embrace

Enveloped in a warmth once frozen in place

Caught up in a rush as these visions unwind

To collect them up until the coming of time

This poem makes me think of long nights beside bonfires with faithful friends. How those tiny sparks become the "specters of memory" you speak of. If only we could catch them and bring them down to illuminate the dark corners of our days. Or maybe we can as hint at in your final line.

Eloquently written, this poem is simply a divine read. I love your line 'chasing specters of memory' as if they are just wisps of our minds that we try to capture and maintain the beauty of loved memories. Beautiful write.

This took me to a place where everything dies and is born again...like a phoenix. I liked the message I got from your words.

This has such flow and gorgeous imagery! I often think the embers that float away from the fire are the most beautiful part of it all. This is a beautiful poem.

Short piece with a nice flow. This poem is different and has pure originality. I would like to read more of your work.

[Etomi Afote]

Good poem.
And I'm not particularly a fan of poetry, so this must be really good. :)
