He watches
The dancing flame
That lights the night
Thoughts to tame
The seafood
In cast iron bowl
Ornate design
Cracked and old.
The air it spits
Sparks on wind
To a higher heaven
Invisible wings
Upward sighing
A deeper sky
To meet the clouds
Floating by.
In this moment
Now uplifting
A million stars
Ears listening
Voices from afar
Like memories drifting
The lonely hour
Shifting.
Through thoughts
Like a movie show
His lips to glass
Emotion low
Another drink
A cigarette or two
Where within
This night are you ?
