The Tinder of Dreams

-------The Tinder of Dreams-------

Bonfire Spring in magic land
and starlight the tinder of dreams.
We sat in a circle, 
all kin to that moment,

and raised up joy, 
like cups and glasses, to the middle
and the flames shared us whole,
edge-less and radiant.

It touched our faces.
It touched every leaf on the hill.
And when the wood ran low
we passed, by hand, a bottle of desert fire

and sang old songs to keep our inside warm.
A toast to youth
   and embers
      and nighttime.

An ode to the great, wild emptiness
we've all become again.
