Dance by the fire’s light
Teeter from side to side
Step and sway with the flicker
Orange hue covers the darkness
A man moves in and around
Towards the edge, back towards the light
He does not move
But it is I who moves
Dancing by the fire’s light
Its glow leads me as if by a will unknown
My arms flow above, reaching above
Skirt twirls and hair twirls as my body spins
Feet swimming in the dew covered grass
His face it lit, a smile bright
Coming forth in the fire light
Hands hold tight in his familiar grasp
Arms above, linked with his, reaching above
Circles circles slowly turn
Round a bout we turn, he turns
He leads me as our feet turn
His eyes of blue, brown, green, always changing
They dance in the fire’s light
My heart thumps, keeps time
Here we have no drum to find the beat
He leads, I follow
His beat fills our ears
Our moves, we moves in and around
Each other in smiles and tears
Surrounded by wilderness darkness so far away
Dancing by the fire’s light
