Bonfire

The perfect night begins
as diamonds fill the sky.
The darkness is ignited
by the glittering of a fire.
Sparks fly towards heaven
reaching for the moon.
A warm breeze
fills the summer air.
The smell of hot dogs and marshmallows
drift through the wind.
The silent night is shattered
by the laughter of teenagers.
Excitement is spread amongst the group
through stories and jokes.
As dawn approaches
the flames slow to a flicker.
The night air becomes quiet again
as the teens slowly fall asleep.
The stars begin to fade as the night ends,
bringing a tomorrow and hopes for another
bonfire.
