[ Sacred Beliefs ] The Firepit
Drink wine
Unwind
Talk about your day
but don't whine
because, here
around the Firepit---
there's no room
for unimportant shit
Purge those frustrated
and impotent thoughts
storming the capitol
rotunda of your mind
You only need tell them
STOP
Unplug from social media feed
hooting and hollering the latest
political confabulations concocted in
Photoshop
Find that comfort zone
To your own self be kind
Cleanse yourself by fire
Leave tomorrow alone
for some other day
to deal with
Tonight, let peace
and solitude be
embering desire

Thank you! I found it especially beneficial in detoxing from so much political nonsense lately. xo

I have found, often, that it is fire and water and earth and air that really do cleanse a person.
Nice poem, Johnny!

Dear JB,
Who brought the marshmallows? That fire sure does look inviting! Those last two stanzas are absolutely stellar. Stay in the moment. Don’t lose it. Such a great message. Fingers crossed I remember this when I start worrying about something I have no control over that might possibly happen next week! 🙄
No joke, great message and wonderful use of fire as cleansing the mind and soul. H🌷

Thank you, LJ. It's a conversation centerpiece that usually is as comforting as the people gathering around it, if not more.

Wine and a firepit help you to think deeply. That's all right, but don't whine and disturb others. That's quite true.

I'd really love to meet you, have a drink, and dance round your firepit. It's a lovely invitation.

Makes me glad we’re friends. These are some fucked up, footnotes in history times. It’s good that there’s a JohnnyBlaze to bring balance to the Force. Humanity’s better for you being here Johnny.

Thank you, Loki. Means a lot. There are so many things pulling on my hair for attention at the moment. I hope to get back to the firepit and cut loose.
