Leonine features against a charcoal sky
Glowing embers and dancing flames before me.
The sound of crickets against the violin night air
The crackle of dry wood as my fire feeds.
A ghost through the smoke and flame,
my heart stirs for just a moment
How primitive and pure
A gift appreciated.
A longing for home.
