We dream of purple mountains snow tipped and majestic A painted desert in the distance We hear the horses splashing through the river Its still waters at the end of a day We recall the rivers journey in the campfires light Visions of ancients color our sight and tell us tales of grand splendor We look into the burning fire and see the fellowship of others We feel their presence in our midst and its sense of peace in fellowship The stories of long ago radiate in the fire as we feel its glow We recall our dreams and the horses they rode splashing the waters on a trail through time portals We feel their powers these warriors of our native earth We become lost in these flames and we feel a great knowledge is passed onto us
Reading CAMPFIRE DREAMS was like sitting in the middle of a holographic projection and watching awestruck as the highly visual images unfolded. The deep and honored sense of spirituality flows straight off the page into the soul and makes a truly powerful reading experience. Thank you for sharing it.
Dale...I too have watch these flames..of past as the smoke rises to our future. :) Lovely write!

YEEEEEEEssssss!!!!!! This is soooo it, Dale! Anyone who has sat round a campfire in wild space and at peace with all around will know EXACTLY what you describe here. And it is the heart of the flame that draws it out as well as together, don't you think?! So mellow and yet so dense with image and energy. Another brilliant write which has rich morsels within it as well as being epicurean. Like others below, am keeping to savour the taste and smell of this and the links with past and on into the future for always. TY - just great! :)) Kate xx
The repitition of certain elements in this poem like fire, water, horses, is very effective. The campfire being the guiding flame into a past that bind us. I like this -- have read it several times and will read it again, I know.
Dear Poet, what a pleasure it is to sit, once more, by the ancestral fire whose circle you revive so beautifully. This is a marvelous, curved line, glowing as it follows the one drawn in "Campfire Light", and warming the spirit immersed in the hope of the next spark, so that the cycle is completed. Then, it will start again... as we find ourselves "lost" in these flames that are passed on to us, and which we pass on, incessantly.
Absolutely beautiful, thank you!
