A Moment of Peace

What I heard and saw while sitting around a camp fire while camping one night.

 Soft acoustic guitar music flows gently to my ears

As I gaze upon a majestic beast of fire

The warm glow illuminates my face

As my body is fed by it's warmth.

 

The sound of crickets and birds add white noise

     throughout the night

And the sound of giggly children travel by

As I turn my eyes to the heavens

     thousands of bright stars fill my vision

As I am reminded of how small we really are.

 

As sparks fly from the fire,

I turn my gaze back and am memorized

     by its beautifully dangerous state

 

A voice now adds to the song

As the guitar cords slowly gain volume

The sweet song travels to my ears

And fills me with an uncommon moment of peace.
