The poem “Oblivious” by Colleen Keller Breuning captures a serene evening by a firepit, watching the sunset and stars with loved ones. Inspired by the Outlander series, the author recounts the beauty of nature, the music of the night, and the feeling of being disconnected from the demands of the outside world.
