Dancin' With Fire

The starlight dances across the skies

The moonlight waltzes around the beach

Twirling its subtle glow in my eyes

I exhale, inspired, start to reach

I spread my arms wide in the night

As if a phoenix' soul I knew

I flick my Bic and spark alight

This gift of dance and fire, I cue

A staff of oak in hand, fire on both tip

I spin and dance the duel flame rod

Dancing to the beat of drums, sometimes skip

Bringing my feat to air , how odd

The drums in the ground,

My soul tells my heart

To spin the flame 'round

My mind makes it art.

The night air, the waves,sand cool and dark

The flame burns close, hisses bright and hot

I twirl and sway, spin fast, waht a lark!

Dancing, danger there is not

I dance with the flame, I feel the charm

I move around, spinning hand and hips

The fire brushes my naked arm

With a flare, a gasp crosses my lips

The fire burns lower, I slowly weaves

It round my head and toss it up high

The brisk air blows out the fire, leaves

The true light dancers up in the skies
