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.

Enchanting and atmospheric write.
Strong imagery here.

So..was it Thailand that inspired this? Or did it just happen to be that you wrote this while you were there?
