Together

After a day of laughter and sun, food and friends, the laughter continued with shifting firelight dancing on our faces.  We were content. Sitting around the fire with s’mores slowly sinking into the seemingly bottomless pits of our stomachs, we were content. With warm company, friends new and old, smiling and soaking in the light that radiated from one another, we were happy. With delicate and entrancing melodies filtering through the crisp night air and kindly caressing our ears, we were overjoyed. With the warmth of our fellowship being greater than that of the false fire we sat around, we were loved, and we loved. As we parted we looked to the fluid shapes of clever clouds hanging overhead and we smiled at their mysterious beauty. And we left, apart but together in this world, in this life.
