Firefly Poem by j l price

Firefly



In the eve of night, as dusk finally gives way to darkness, your tiny light first appears. You give us a show of light for the next several
hours. Oh, what a sight it is! For those of us who grew up in the
country, it is reminiscent because you spent so many evenings outside. Your true message is: summertime is here. Catch a firefly in your hand watch their tiny light glow. Allow them to use your finger as a runway and watch them take off. The firefly is not a speed merchant and it’s by design. When you observe many of them together their proximity to each other creates one of natures most beautiful and serene events.
Firefly, Firely
shine your light tonight
Assist the moon and stars
In helping us
To ease our troubled minds
If only our lives could be as beautiful and simple as the firefly.

Excellent! Brings back the special moments as a child.. We use to call them 'lightning bugs'. Catching them in mason jars, running around using them as a flashlight, or just pit them on the bedside table and stare at them all night.. Wonderful! !
