the music the bonfire the beach and the pocket watch

trying a new style

pocket watch

tell the time

days of old

stories told

sitting round the

bonfire at night

on that beach

on native shores

bonfire

lights up the sky

people move closer

sometimes shy

some may dance

the music starts

the moonlit sky

it fades away

the bonfire

chants

music take my love and me

to the place where we were

young and free

to that white sand beach

on native shore

show me the time

oh stopwatch

tell me more!

the ashes of that bonfire

they swiftly long ago got

washed away

the pocket watch has long

been sold to some old guy

the music stays

on my records here i play

i close my eyes

i feel the roar of fire

I can hold that watch

and here in minds own eyes

Ill surely

dance  again with thee

You've sent me on a nostalgia journey! So many good times to be had around bonfires, especially growing up in the boondocks (too far to go to town to party!) You captured so many of the same things I remember & loved . . . with my morning fire in the woodstove right now, I can hear the crackling as a background to your message! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

i like the stop watch ...representing those moments in time and memory...everyone should have a white sand beach to recall ;) the flow is rocky ... but i appreciate the"experiment" ...using the title to tie it together does make a difference tho.
