Poem: Under the Stars

Night descends
on the camp site
the fire throws shadows
all around
hiding the surrounding trees
the darkness broken
by cheerful fireflies.
The silence interrupted
by the nightingale
singing a sad song
the crickets
chirping hello to each other
the owl
stirs from its slumber
for its usual hunt.
Wood crackles
consumed by the light.
Simple meals
shared between friends
stories and laughter
echo from the heart.
A world untouched
by the hum of daily life
a simple connection
for you and me.
