HYPNOTIC TRANCE OF THE FIRE'S DANCE

The wood crackles,

the heat intense

as the flames dance,

that warm caress.

Holding your gaze,

burning your thoughts,

its time to drift

when eyes are caught.

These fiery flames

orange and red,

fixes on the mind

well after it's dead.

nicely captured ..staring into embers and flames is the campers lullaby ... did you mean to say caresses in the fourth line? ... just read your comment that this is an oldie ... glad you resurrected it .. feels good this morning in my snowy chill :)

A very good write, Andrew.

Ive found myself many times lost in deep thought while staring into a fire. There is something mesmerising about the movement and sounds of flame.

Keep them coming.

Same for me too. Was a very good writer at school, even my English teacher suggested i should write as a career. Then life gets in the way, and you kind of lose focus. I've only been back writing for the last month. We have to keep up the momentum!! Haha.
