Megalong Valley Campfires
If Angels of smoke could carry my prayers
Crackling a beat, my heart shifts old wares
We’d sit there for hours tilting our heads
Warming our souls, calling king dead
The space we created was vast in expanse
Enlightening, connected, fires at a glance
Nodding my head, lines straight to heaven
Forward then back eleven-eleven?
A repeating of numbers, hints of mystery
The fire-within, ancient-you history
Stars on the ground, fires in sky
Seering the heavens opens third eye
Stories of love, a sword guards the garden
Fire’s fingertips stroking for pardon
Angels of smoke, ascending in song
Sparks are our souls… longing to belong

Hey John, I so love the total chaos in this radiating from that central nucleus of fire. I also love that you use gold leaf in this… and 429 cm x 134 cm?? I can only speculate at how awesome this must look in real life.
Thanks for bringing back your cool stuff!!
PS: JOL`s a cool dude… I knew he`d dig this too!
