Firefly Dream

Lowered lids on stars of eyes velvet black on moonlight smile in silence of night slept day from its work to rest midnight dark and secret love jet cloud head piercing fireball's exploding streaks vagabond's star wish dream clock hands midnight joined embraced in secret ecstasy circling forever spring firefly enchanting glee sparkling to return it vanishes a vagabond love mystery Seventh Place: Craic Cornish-Vagabond Dream-9/10/21

What a lovely warm, dreamy and romantic vision to sink into - to wrapt ourselves in - to wander about in, Frances. Congratulations on your win!

Thank you Carol for insightful comment on mystery of fireflies, invisible except for their light; like our hidden God manifest through light of His love.
