Firefly Dream

lowering lids 
on starry eyes
velvet black 
on moonlight 
smile
on silence
mantle
slept
day from work 
to rest
illuming lips
stone fire
heat
love jets
fountain
drunk head
pierce
ball exploding
in meteors
streams
vagabond
love
star wish
dream
circling forever 
in firefly 
spring
clock hands
embraced
in nostalgic
glee
dew sparks
smiles
that sigh
and flee
vagabond
ecstasy
love spring
mystery

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 Sam for understanding and clearly capturing essence of Firefly Dream in your comment. You filled me with happiness! And may all your dreams not come true unless they are filled with playful fun and happiness.

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.
