Bonfires
Negativity
Fear and doubt
Or any emotion
We could do without
Insecurity
Cruelty
Pain
Throw them all on
They're no match for the flames
We'll take turns
We'll both throw on sticks
Plus plastic preconceptions
We'll laugh as they drip
We'll build it high
Like a steaple
We have a responsibility
To add fuel to the arsonists easel
Watch the flames feverishly lick
While we sit back...
A beer we'll sip
Alive in the moment
The cheeks of our faces hot
Awe inspiring, mesmerising
It makes me jump when it loudly crackles and pops
It shoots sparks upwards
They rise on the hot air
My neck cranes back as I continue to stare
The embers rise
Until they have a beautiful backdrop of stars
Drifting in the night sky with Jupiter,
Venus and Mars
Our bodies are cleansed
Our minds are reset
Sometimes you must remember...
Remember to forget
Forget about tomorrow
Or whatever the cool morning transpires...
From now on all that matters
Is you and I...
You and I and bonfires

So many days as a child, collecting wood to build, to burn, to watch as it falls to Ash. Back to the earth once more. Great poem Syd.
Thank you Gerard, I too have fond memories of building bonfires. I always look forward to bonfire night. Thanks for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem.

My Dear Syd,
Another great write!
I could feel the "Bonfire of Life" burning before me.
I could see it's embers, hot and red, sending the sparks of my future, into the sky.
I felt the cleansing of my Soul, "remembering to forget", as my negativity lifted, and I basked in the warmth of my rebirth.
Bonfires of Love,
Larry xxx
