WITHIN THE EMBERS’ GLOW

By Barbara

A Cheryl’s Pals Collab

Within the magical darkness
of this Summer Solstice Night
transcendent flames swept across
the dark of a velvet night,
the fire all-consuming
and reaching high
against the midnight sky,
gracefully sweeping,
dancing,
leaping
well into the night,
the crackling of the embers
the only sound breaking through
the hushed silence of the forest,
whispers echoing through
the darkness there .
I witnessed flames dancing
beneath the twinkling stars
to the cadenced melodies
and midnight symphonies
of this Summer Solstice night.

And I watch them now
as they slowly fade,
mesmerized by their glow,
my spirit soaring with them,
my heart skipping a beat,
to the sounds I hear
within the darkness there,
transfixed by the burning embers
glowing in the night beneath
this summer midnight moon,
such a wondrous and magical sight.
