A Walk Among the Fireflies Canto I

Firefly Delight

I saw the stars fall from the sky
Into the bog and rise
As fireflies!
And the earth sighed with pleasure
At the glory of the sight
And small children danced in the meadows
With the light of the fireflies dancing in their eyes!
It was a merry time,
A long ago time,
A simpler time of life.

  1. Hi Kathie

    I loved "I saw the stars fall from the sky
    Into the bog and rise
    As fireflies!" what a wonderful image. You have conveyed so much of the joy and wonder of childhood.
