Smoke of Nostalgia

Crackling flames

Flee from the smoke

Laughing

And playing

As gentle eyes watch

Search for sticks

To fuel our fire

Rough or smooth

Any will do

Bring on fuel

And watch eagerly

To the fire!

Eyes gleaming

Delighted squeals

At bursts of flame

Bring on the morsels

Freshly singed marshmallows

And crackers and chocolate

Content smiles

And even happier tongues

Then cozy up tight

Watching the stars

And close all eyes

As the fire dies
