Summertime Beach Bonfire: Nights Memories Burning Poem by Terence George Craddock

the sea washes across depth memories
evoking distant forgotten nights
on time sand long past beach seashores
on silk black star filled nights

magical with bonfire blazing stars
skyward leaping flying over night time shifts
burning back as fire burns down darkness
slowly creeps back in until hours

later red embers still glowing red hot swift swept
fail space fall into an enclosed circle; beach wave rumble roars
night star sky soft warm summer night breeze as

time enfolds in timeless limitless moments stretching
into now now soft time creeping towards dawn dawning darkness
subsiding red fingernail light slow time approaching new day sunrise
