By the Campfire

We’re sitting by the campfire
staring at dancing flames

the moon welcomes us
closer than I have ever seen
I feel happier than I have ever been

She’s shining so bright
it feels like the sun in disguise

To share this moment 
with the people closest to me
makes me feel eternally grateful

This is what it means 
to be


We were camping by a crater somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Kenya. I was with my mom, dad, brother and sister. We were all sitting in a camping chair around a big campfire. The moon came up, and it was like we could almost touch her. A moment I will not soon forget.
