When my eye catches a glimpse of twinkle
I get my jar and net, ready, set go.
A story that no time can make wrinkle
Gently, careful, keep her wings safe and stow.


All evening I chase around the yard.
The catch, the hunt, the thrill saves the appeal.
We dance, fly, swirl 'round stars; song of a bard.
A wailing heart 'forenight can only heal.


A gathering of such sight and wonder
In a jar where others glow more dull, You
shine so vibrant the others just ponder
A ray's light set in mind, you are of few.
