What is it about firelight

that brings us close

that makes us want to share secrets

tell stories

laugh and be close?

Each day brings each night, 
and each night a firelight,
lit but for even if a moment fills
 each fold of our heart and heart of our fold 
with all the usual unspokens,
yet more than any other, hope.
~ John Shaw, "Firelight"

We had a night like that on Saturday,
by the lake
with ten friends.

Cloudless starry night,

soft breezes

dogs running and kids from next door

chasing each other in circles.

.

Huddled on adirondacks  

under blankets

or standing close to the flames

We'd all left our own kids

at home,

so for several hours

we were our own childlike

selves again.

Laughing, sharing confidences

and just being us in

the warm glow of the firelight.

Hope you enjoyed your own weekend

firelight!
