Bonfired reflections
\nrising toward midnight
\npunctuating the silence
\nof my heart,
\nflames reaching up
\ninto the darkened sky
\nas etched against
\nthe black of night,
\nsyncopated rhythms,
\npassion’s intensity
\ndancing wildly,
\nfrenzied magic
\nemblazoned against
\nthe fearless sky.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

And within the flames
\nan enlightened moment,
\nhonesty rising up,
\nso often vague
\nand hard to see
\nin the bright light of the day;
\nelusive answers coming clear
\nout of the darkness
\nthat was night
\nas within that darkness
\nfacing them,
\nembracing what was feared,
\nfears consumed in fire’s flames,
\nAnd what was yesterday,
\nthe stresses and fears,
\nrelease their grip
\nwithin the frenzied flames
\nand fall away
\nas the dark of night
\nbegins to fade
\ninto to the dawn
\nand morning’s light.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
