"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.

So love your work Chris, don't get much better than this.

[Ed Hart]

that pretty much sums it up Chris...keep the fires burning

Words, all words.. magic and mysterious, meanings hidden but displayed for the readers' fun and games.. deep thoughts, wild thoughts, written in some style.. more than keen perception of how things are in firefly world.

' damn the eyes - they always glisten in such - depth of wishing, hoping, dreaming... begging... needing...' Begging and needing so often go hand in hand - we all have to dream - until we're disillusiioned. :)

Hope your Wednesday make up for that Tuesday

theres that salient moment, where you can peer into the future and not so much see what will be, but everything it could be.
