orgami's Diaryland Diary

heat of the embers

heard the geese calling out
as they found their way north
again for another season

flying just above the tree
tops along the terrace
behind us

wishing i was sitting by
a fire with a good stick
to stir the emmbers
warming my legs

stars brilliant twinkle
above the rising smoke

but

i am here
sitting in a chaotic
weekend apartment

nothing that three
hours of cleaning tidying
and organizing won't cure

i remember my fires
alone
in a feild in a stone
pit
the forest chilled and
dark rising like a dark
wall
my ragged parka and work
boots
animals moving about
in the feild
cars swooshing past way out
on the road at the fence
line their lights reaching
along the utility poles
like silver threads at dawn
of a spiders creation

feeling cold down my neck
shivering from the days work
on the property

waiting for my freind to
return home from work
leaves falling from the
branches in darkness
spiralling down to land
crisply on the stones
cradling my dreamers
rest

an owl calls somehwere
far across the road
something moves in the
forest
a meteor peirces the
heavens like Gods
fingertip

i have never felt so
alone and abandoned

seven kilometers to
town across a river
bridge and a hill and
farmland

but i miss that fire
now

..O..
