Firefly

See you through the haze
Watching in a daze
Firefly in my hand

A fleeting moment

Like slipping sand.

I’m mesmerized

By blinking light

Lighthouse in darkest night.

Reach out

And try to hold,

But there’s no telling

How this may unfold.

Firefly if you should land

Tell me your story and

Leave me time to feel

Grateful that wisdom heels.

I know you cannot stay.

Must fly before its day,

To illuminate the sky

Before that final sigh.

Thank you for taking time,

That I may worship the sublime

Glow that you leave behind,

Still resonating in my mind.
