Campfire


I sit by my campfire.
I watch the embers burning.
Memories overtake me.
I see their pages turning.

Like smoke upon the water
they drift until tomorrow.
I see the happy faces
and others lined with sorrow.

I can no more catch them
than a wisp among the willow.
The embers die to cinders.
I rest upon my pillow.

I let dreams overtake me
in turmoil and abandon.
There is no chart to guide me
so I leave it to my Captain.
