Notes About The Poem
Ink Empress' Roses or Fireflies Contest...28 Feb 25

Sky of Fireflies


Amidst a burning skyline where
every tick of a gesture    a happenstance
charges my essence and absorbs 
this space where discoveries
allow me a chance to revel at
what is miraculous...the dance
of kaleidoscopic stars, toddlers
wiggling like  cherubs , fireflies dressed

like the Orion... and I go with the flow,
radiant as wings of revelry
guide me through an armada
of  delirious fireflies I need not comprehend...
because  my heart awaits the next
swing of child-like enthrallment
delirious as the zigzaging zings
in a twirl, in ribbons laced by thrills

of free imagination...there, in that
jeweled wing, I seek nothing
but the translucent  lucent spins
in total wanderlust of the unknown,
ready to celebrate this flight of eternal fireflies
away from the ordinary glitter
within what could ever be 
any woodland that's ever near !

Funny how the strong feelings of childhood flood the soul when fireflies appear

Nothing like child-like wonder is there Nette? If only we could sustain it throughout our lives. Alas, the world beats us up, makes us jaded, skeptical, even pessimistic. We lose it along the way. Awesome take, though I think the contest ended
