Sitting around the campfire

Sitting Around the Campfire

Sitting around the campfire
just before the sun
competes with the flames
dusky early morning
mist more than clouds
it is a small child day
of not too distant memory
when the mind
is open
receptive
forgetting how to block,
to protect

and the rush of nothingness
the loud quiet
comforts

the return to peace,
a child's peace,
the understanding
that all
here in this place
is complete
