Lesson by the fire

Still there?
  Even in the dim light,
    I can see your confusion.

The story did not settle anything,
  did it?

Easy to listen to,
  but leaving you asking questions.

Some coming back at the oddest moments.

You may be old enough to understand,
  while young enough to accept.

Some stories are for the moment,
  others,
    after being forgotten,
      create another tale.

Now,
  off to your bed.

Let the stories settle,
  while you dream.
