Lighting Bug

Glow little lighting bug, Let your bright light shine as the air and midnight hour all but intertwine. Flicker with the neon glow, just like when I was a child watching from the shadows of beauty-free and wild. You are but a treasure, something sweet and rare you sparkle like a little star With the shine you share. I remember sometimes catching you, My hands lit up with glow and then see you buzz away as I would let you go. All the fun and simple times, cannot believe they are in the past but no matter how the time does change your shine will always last.

excellent write! Not so fast tho' girl, I am 37 and I'll have you know that on the very night you wrote this poem I was out catching lightening bugs in a mason jar. I let them free on the fourth during the fireworks. Crazy that you were writing this then! I haven't caught Lightening Bugs for at least 25-30 years!

I miss them so much, Jessica. I grew up in Iowa where they thrived You can't find a one of them in this stupid Utah. Love this poem for the nostalgia it brings me.
