Light streams
Through a window
At the top of the stairs

Beyond green fields
Sky meets the sea
Blue on blue

This is not
The world of war
Or desire

Let young men
To either who have
Never been there
If they need to
Go and learn
What it has
To know

Tonight for us
There is music
Coming from
Down the hall
A smell
Of good food
In the evening air

The moon moving
Slowly over far hills

Fireflies dancing
Under silver stars

Fine slice of philosophy, life, and impressionistic imagery!

I am particularly fond of the beginning:

"Light streams
Through a window
At the top of the stairs

Beyond green fields
Sky meets the sea
Blue on blue

This is not
The world of war
Or desire"

significant applause for this 'penning'!

Such "tonights" are what makes days worthwhile. *S* Beautiful work!

Wandering in the warm nights of summer---I am there, a gleeful boy amid fireflies and stars!

Thanks for rekindling the magic---we called them lightening bugs!

I love the firefly dance. Nicely done.
