Lights Out
I have followed
many a rainbow;
as with that illusive
dream have tried
to hold on~ so, one
morning, as the
sun was rising, a beam
I planned to capture--
thinking some light
a thing everyone should
own...my ultimate plan
like Peter's shadow sown
I finalized my scheme
with a Wendy Seam:
But light seeped out
the bottles glass...
and the bars of a cage
just as easy to pass...
trying to grasp
far too fast; exhausted
I attempted to sleep:
came visions of fireflies
and stars endless deep~
giving it my best
I gave out a shout,
but nothing I did or said
could put those blinking
dang lights
out....
