In the Firelight

In the firelight
  they told the stories

Always with heads low
  speaking to each other
     and to no one

As the stories came
  like a storm after dark
   the story came
     with lightening and thunder

His eyes would be half closed
   to protect his mind
      in telling the story
          after dark in the soft wind
             it was always the same

With each breath in the tale
   silence would prevade
      they in listening would pull
          their cloaks closer about them
   their cloaks protection from each
      word of
   the story
