From the hearth fire beckoned me,
To gaze within its flame,
To journey on a dream once dreamed,
From where I once had came.

I dreamt no more sweet dreams of youth,
A child no longer there,
In dormant slumber gone away,
To depths of who knows where.

Dark shadows danced in glowing embers,
Calling forth forgotten places,
Within stone hearth, as one remembered
One’s past in caldron's faces.

Past and present one the same,
Mesmerized in fire's flame.

Flames of fire can put a man in a trance~

I like the scene, and the idea of past and present both in the flame.

Fire is transformation.
And indeed it has the power to evoke things from the past and to transport us into the future ... all unfolds within our magnetic gaze ...
Beautiful write.
Love, Margherita

Especially a campfire. It draws, mesmerizes; the dynamics, constantly changing, unpredictable, as life itself; warmth, security, food; life giving, life taking....

Millions of years of evolution have made a deep imprint of the flame into our DNA......LOL!!

I liked this one, good work, Tim.

Sir, you share well
that private moment
when we gaze into the
flame, thinking no one else
could ever guess
where we are.

Thank you.
