Nature of things

Nature of things

A Poem by M.a. Benjamin
"

Wrote this in thailand

"
How beautiful the Fire's embers are
Dashed up in the air like burning stars
Chasing specters of memory
Through sprawling fields of history
On boughs of a brand new day's embrace
Enveloped in a warmth once frozen in place
Caught up in a rush as these visions unwind
To collect them up until the coming of time

This poem makes me think of long nights beside bonfires with faithful friends. How those tiny sparks become the "specters of memory" you speak of. If only we could catch them and bring them down to illuminate the dark corners of our days. Or maybe we can as hint at in your final line.

Like this. Interesting. The last line i think can be improved though. To collect them up into...a larger mind? Just a thought.
