juggling lighted chants

 

we had visions of fra angelico

and mr t in our heads  

sparks from the bonfire doing their

 

sparky to the sky at night on the beach thing

rising to the join the pleiades  

rising and rising  

 

dancing to drum boogie and the ting tings 

charley chanting om mani mani mani padme hom 

chanting and dancing   sparks flying

 

it was a matter of time   (charley being charley) 

before he grabbed those burning logs 

juggling those damn things and chanting his om   

 

flames illuminating his chants as they rose   rising and rising

into the sparky night   tará sparky oms

Interesting night. I think that I might have stepped back a little.
