"Fireflies..."

Damn ...Tuesday

"Fireflies..."

Seems we never give our - self
lightly... its always with a "HUZZAH!!"
and bursting stars and sparklers
and sound waves that just wash our
existence from our very breath!

Hearts literally skip
and minds go blank
and mouths so fall ...open
and eyes... damn the eyes -
they always glisten in such -
depth of wishing, hoping, dreaming...
begging... needing...

I really wonder why you dislike Tuesdays, Chris, for me Wednesdays are much worse. I look forward to Tuesdays, because I often find another piece from you that is well worth reading. Well, if we are going to give of ourselves, no sense going halfway. But...it does get hard sometimes.

You are so very talented. You always capture with your words the attention of others. They flow nicely.

too many I think try to make much of little with tonnage of verbage. wonderful to have a small perfect thing to hold in your heart whole and compleat to contemplate like the colors of a butterflys' wing as it lands in the palm of your hand.

I love this. Unfortunately, I'm the non-huzzah type. LOL I'm cautious...

and all that we need... all that we are... is right here within us. Whole. If we would only .. listen ... see.

Great depth - great writing. I look forward to reading more. Thanks Chris, for sharing your lovely talent - insight - perception.

...so right, a gentlleman taught me this very thing, not long ago. Said,"Just lean in,
slowly, lightly, something like a whisper!"

Damn, thought this going to be about insects. Nevertheless, it sums up what I'm thinking - wishing, hoping and dreaming. All one could ever need in a poem. Thanks.
