Firefly Stars Enameled eyes return gaze from mirror, staring back, expressionless. A smaller world than before, my heaven is now that of fireflies, not stars. Both breath and step, forever shortened. Hidden away, only the tides know me intimately and only seabirds record my voyage. You would kiss me, if you could, wouldn't you? Yes, you would kiss me. The stars will shine when I am gone, |

..."My heaven is now that of fireflies, not stars." So poetically poignant! The stars may be out of reach, but the fireflies are not----they can light up your world. Linda |

Oh Michael, there's so much here...the sad realization and wishfulness is well expressed with equally great imagery and theme. Your pen is gifted, indeed You said it of my poem, I'll say it of yours..this is hauntingly beautiful~Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound...or a smiling mouth" ~Kahlil Gibran~ [This message has been edited by Honeybee (09-04-2002 07:55 PM).] |

Michael Poignant...the size of what you see...as far as breath, as clear as see. Yes, I would kiss you for this, and because you are you.  |
