Fire Dance

Night lurks

I see a man go inside

I shouldn't go into the woods tonight

What lures me into woods

was a bright light

I'm not dying

I'm not dying

I'm not dying here!

I'm too young

Looking up to the small twinkling little stars

Twinkle stars show me with their tears

Why are they crying?

I think to myself as my weakest joins began to give in.

I was caught by a man covered in carving on his arms 

Something about him soothed me,

I fell asleep, dreading. I knew I wouldn't wake up

"You wake up don't worry." he chuckles 

I heard fire burning - the crispt fire going, crack crack - the sweet smell of fire teased my nose

How much I wanted to see the fire dance

My eyes won't open.

"Live Life Hard" he blurted out 

So fast - my eyes woken. 

I looked at him shocked, so stunned.

"Life life hard, ya' here?" 

He walks to the camp fire making the fire dance more.
