Louise Riveiro - Mitchell Poet Rhyme

A Sky Of Fireflies

As the evening starts to wander in and 
The sun finds her place to hide,
I smile and close my eyes as my thoughts
Take me back to another place and time.
It takes me back where a young man 
Stood by my side,
Though it had been so long ago 
I could still see  him stand there and I 
Remembered how I loved him so.
We’d walk together hand and hand 
Planning how our life together would  be.
He taught me how to catch fireflies and told me
How they glowed only for me.
We walked along in the evening night
But that was a long time ago,
We’ve changed as one could see
A sudden breeze brings me back to 
This time and reality,
As I open my eyes I see a sky of fireflies 
And  the man who promised he’d always 
Stay by me
