Of Fireflies I caught a jar of fireflies And brought them up before my eyes And there I saw a veil of light That lit the bright of dreams at night It was a sight of valley’s green Where flowers interlace the scene And shadows danced among the trees To senses I could not believe They winked at me illusions coup To dance the dance desires rue And ride the magic’s carpet ride Within the dark of thoughts abide And as I soared above the earth And looked upon each thought of birth The fireflies blinked shades of red And I dear lord, fell out of bed It’s then I saw some other stars Without the aid of holding jars |

I shouldn't have laughed at your falling out of bed ~ but it was somewhat unexpected and how you described it elicited a bit of a giggle out of me. I enjoyed the visuals of your night of rapture!  May your day be full of sunshine (that's "sunshine" with a small "s"! lol)~ and watch your step!  EA |

Oh my Sy! You mean it was only a dream? But it was a lovely one even with the bump on the head.  I think this sunny morn you may be needing a cup of Chai tea? ~Morning hugs & tea, Nancy~ ~ Love, like magic, depends on believing. ~ |

Seymour~ You sent my memory on a treasured trip Remembering fireflies in youthful flit Across the lawn of me in night-tinged revelry~ I love this memory stirring penning, my friend~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left. - Sufi epigram <))>< Email noles1@totcon.com |

Well, that ejected a chuckle from my sick body, and a couple of coughs as well. If laughter is the best medicine, you'd best stir me up another cup of tea, Sy...and add plenty of sugary chuckles, please!  |

LOL, I didn't see that twist to the ending coming Sy! Too cute! We've got many fireflies out here where we moved. They lit up the lawn for weeks last summer, and it was truly mesmerizing. It really was almost like a dream, lol.  Loved this Sy. Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |
