the roar of fire rings out on high and flames light up the black night sky

things move
this nite n every nite
the lack of vision
gets the best of us all
its all its all its all
a step to love
and sacrifice
n very large statements
covering very large topics
whispered with simplicity
n easy easy words

n the indie folk
dude is writin
music for his indie film maker
friends
by a fire
on a stone
in the haze
when elton john comes on
n he ends up just singing along

then scribbles in a pad
like we all do
about 3 people in the back
seat bumping up n down
in unison
while driving down a dirt road
too fast
tires throwing dust
windows down on
a care free summer nite
when feelings are light
and acoustic picking is
perfectly floating
above everyones head...

someone cried that nite
n someone got head
n someone made a move
that involved wine in a
boobie coffee cup
n it failed so so hard
n 2 watched the sun rise
perched precariously on
the point of a destination
cabin in the woods holdin hands
celebrating lack of vision
and wonderful sights
at the same time
without even knowing
the sacrifice and a step
to love
