On Lighting the Campfire

Fire!
Grasping fingers
Reaching toward the moon and starts,
Consuming all within their reach ---
Now we go in search of treasure
Guard our camp tonight.


Fire!
Roaring lantern
Lighting paths across the fields,
Sending beacons to the sky ---
Lead us campward from our wand'rings
When the moon is high.
