"Campfire Dreams"

A Tanka Chain

 

Tribal voices call
Uniting all the People
The beat of the drum

Synchronising the heart beat
As Brother and Sister meet

*

I saw you dancing

Such grace, such feminine poise

Like a slender spruce

Waving in the mountain wind

My soul melted into yours

*

I watched the fire light

Anoint your silken shoulder

Where I longed to kiss

Every curve and sway held me

Captive ~ burning in the flames

*

Come dance with me now

Until the drums fall silent

And the music dies

But we and the flames still dance

With our two hearts intertwined
