Breaking Camp

This was a good place to camp
the folding hills and the shade
beneath the trees by the water.
The land was inviting and nurturing
but it's time to break camp
and continue the journey.
The great fires we danced around
with such fervor late into the night
are beginning to fade.
The fires danced too, their wavering flames
played tricks with the dancer's shadows
and sent sparks high into the darkness.
Did they die out or just disappear?
Tomorrow we leave and scatter the ashes.
It's time to break camp
but I will miss this place.
