Harvest Ground

They came amidst the silhouettes 
Of out stretched brush
Darting lights pressed against the night
Flickering reflections 

Recalling memories
Of a child’s summers 
Spent netting Fireflies 
Along the riverside

Claiming places loosely hinged
To a minds active footing
Against a backdrop of fears 

That modern had washed away 
What past grounds had grown 
Beguiled them to Obsolescence 
Under a current of timely things 

A smiles immortal child
Never more near then forgotten
Save there along the riverside
Of dancing Lights
