Fire Shadow Dancing
By Don

Roaring yellow fire,
burns brightly,
illuminating the cave's
dark inner depths,
shapeless shadows dance
on the ancient cave walls,
we watch and wonder,
we linger,
maybe longer...
than we should,
we sense our own hollowness,
just one empty layer upon another,
the sun will come...
tomorrow,
but for now,
we need the fire to dance
with the ancient cave shadows.
