We sit around a campfire <br />The woods have finally turned dark <br /> <br />The night has come to take care of us all <br />The warm fire seems to be smiling at us <br /> <br />Daughters of the moon <br />I've never seen any girls more beautiful than you five <br />Thanks for joining me around this fire <br />Decked out in dresses that only it would seem goddesses would wear <br />With crescent moon necklaces around your necks <br /> <br />Flames of red, blue, and green race up my arms <br />I thought I should you girls that I love the stars <br />I smile at the dark sky <br />And I say ' Thank you Selene ' <br />Also as well for bringing the girls and I the stars and moon in the sky <br /> <br />I hold my hand out over the fire <br />My palm is open <br />You girls smile, whisper, and murmur <br />The flames still race up and down my arm <br />And as such <br />You girls each extend a hand, touching and caressing my hand in all of yours <br />And I'm sure Selene's watching and smiling down on us all tonight<br /><br />Justin Gildow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daughters-of-the-moon/
