Wind gushing through the tall trees at twilight
The air pats me on the back
with soft touches of the day’s last heat
Fading rays of the sun’s reflective goodbye
stream through, gloomy as moonbeams
Some glint in the corner of my eye
a speck of gold, supernatural
Firefly
I spy you hobbling around in preflight
I delight in your throbbing fob
as you grow into your wings
Firefly
What a welcome first sighting
I suppose we must all crawl alone in the dusk
before we dance in heady teams
And as I dwaddle home I see
Firefly, Firefly, Firefly
out laying a phosphorescent carpet for me
