By life's open fire

 

Unwrapped

that

into

which

we

wound

around

ourselves

so

tight.

 

Through

the long night,

we talked,

laughed

cried

and

worked it all

out.

 

You see

that's what poetry...

No... Life,

is all about.

Finding our

stories deep inside

and pulling them

out into the light.

Sharing them

out,

like a meal, a feast.

We give and we take.

We share what

we make.

We talk, we laugh, we cry, we fight.

We find meaning, we resolve,

we hug and retire.

Then we play games

by life's open fire.

 

And as the evening

is drawing,

we play charades

with our lives,

trying to squeeze

our thoughts

and feelings

into a quick mime.

Hearty meals of life

condensed to mere

soundless soundbites.

But when the day ends

we play games

     by life's open fire.
