Girlhood's Trance

On meadows deep I now recall Winged fairies sauntering mid-air , To gather moon dust everywhere Which captured me in a hazy thrall. And bright rod was the magic key Opening closing trails of before -- While they hummed a mystical lore A girlhood scene , eyes did not foresee. Till my kid brother came around ; When gemstones spilled from pixies’ heads Mirroring night-- the pinks and reds Awestruck he tumbled to the ground! Blooms, fireflies drifting ever near A trance with no need to explain , Just dreams and hope , the children’s gain Reminding us that youth bears cheer. -------- For Line Gauthier's Contest : ANY RHYME FORM - AN EARLY CHILDHOOD MEMORY 4/23/2018

Oh how I remember the fireflies, we would chase them starting from the first burst of light, then pull away and toss rocks up at the bats to watch them dive after the falling rocks...
