First Warm Weekend

_____________________________________

Sitting by the fire gazing at the stars

A gap in the forest affords us the view

Tent in the clearing will sleep just us two.

*

For tonight this bit of nature is ours

Sitting by the fire gazing at the stars

A gap in the forest affords us the view

*

Sitting by the fire, warms as wood chars

Special moments like this are far too few

Spending time this way is what we should do

Sitting by the fire gazing at the stars

A gap in the forest affords us the view

Tent in the clearing will sleep just us two.
