I too like campfires. I also like s'mores. I like my marshmallows brown and crispy. I love laying on the grass at night and staring up at the stars. It seems so magical. I imagine outer space as a place where there are many kinds of life. I wonder how similar and different those beings are. Like all things in life, too much or too little can be difficult.
I wish for my children and grandchildren and now my great grand children Love and wisdom and a more peaceful environment. It seems like since the beginning of time there have been wars and anger and tempest. Getting along with people can be difficult. Not impossible. To me anger and bad behavior is the absence of God. We all can get impatient and have negative feelings, we are human. We must strive to stop and think before we say or do anything that could be or cause a problem. I know I have been tested many a time. I fail and I succeed. hopefully the later are more that the former.
Loved your poem, as usual gives one time to think and ponder. Much love, Cheryl W XO
I’ve always been a little afraid of campfires. Afraid they will get out of control. Just like our world today. If only we could put those flames out as easily as we can extinguish a campfire.
Sometimes we're reminded that even in our artistic musings, we're not alone. This was a lovely way to take a break from my responsibilities this morning, and it brought my heart joy to read of your campfire thoughts. Only yesterday, I was editing a poem and added this line in reference to the light we carry with us:
"There’s no need for a campfire when one of your company has a fire of their own"
I've always loved campfires too, and you've inspired me to try making one soon, specifically for the sake of making s'mores, this time with Reese's. A brilliant idea if ever I heard one.

I often wonder how alike and different we are from life in other corners of space?

By the way, I do not like s’mores.
I think we start with putting out the little flames we can…
And next time , I’ll save you a Hershey Bar😀

I absolutely cannot wait to read these poems!
"There’s no need for a campfire when one of your company has a fire of their own.”
Reese s’mores sound like a good possibility.
