Fireflies of Lies

Fireflies of lies souring high, where pristine truth couldn't follow nigh Like stupid ant sorting out, sand and sugar in just a kiss I caught fireflies amid fallen leaves, blowing for fire of truth.

Very calming, cool sijo/sigo. I enjoyed the trip back to my childhood and less far back to my grandchildren discovering fireflies.

Thank you Burl..There is a story about a monkey, caught a firefly, put under some dried leaves and tried to blow fire out of it..Now watching the news, I'm catching lies and blowing truth out of it..
