Away from noise and confusion
We left the fire burning in the dark
But took a part of it in our heart
No longer a part of the illusion
Unwilling to listen to another groan

another moan in silence we condoned
But when the fire suddenly crackled and spat sparks like a mournful lion! We all gathered from afar staring at the fire with no other desire than to be there in a circle sensing each other's presence we didn't even have to lift up our eyes look at the stars it was as if the pure emptiness was within as all so gently rapt in awe

Waves lapping against the shore
