Campfires are a blessing
For tired brains;
They require
No thinking.
The redhot coals pulse
With life,
Ashes lift, relieved
Of their burdens,
And smoke curls free,
Releasing a bouquet of smells
That evoke images
So real
They dance in the heart
Of the redhot coals
Fire cleanses,
And from the ashes
Eventually will sprout
New life.

"Ashes lift, relieved
Of their burdens," . . . Leaving our cares behind is a savory image. I like it.
Kurt--
This brings a special image to mind. I especially think the ending is poignant:
"Fire cleanses,
And from the ashes
Eventually will sprout
New life."
Thanks for sharing your special insight.
