The Flitter Glitters

This is a true question that I have had since I was a child.

The Flitter Glitters

 

Does anyone else notice the tiny beings

 that float around in the air?

Actually, I can’t tell if they are surrounding me,

or if they’re just out there.

I never questioned their reality.

I only just wondered what they were.

They are always flittering around each other

back and forth like a blur.

Now, I am not talking about dust here.

These things are alive.

I see them move with precision

but I’m not sure how they thrive.

They are best seen while outside,

illuminated by sunlight.

Whenever I first saw them,

I couldn’t believe my own sight.

Am I describing some mystic phenomenon,

my own aura in the sky,

or maybe it could be the movements

of the glittering cells in my own eye?

I do! What a great name you gave them!-To me, they appear as very tiny points of light-Flitter Glitters-I think you just invented a new name for them. I always wondered what they are and marvel at them flittering glittering all around me. your poem about them is well written and very descriptive of a previously unnamed anomaly. I have those 'floaties' in my eyes as many of us do and those are NOT Flitter Glitters -Thanks for making me laugh over finding these 'beings' so well described.. :-D

I think I have a fair idea, this was beautifuly described, cleverly worded and with a secretive twist, well observed and not missed I might add =)

I really enjoyed it Mejasha

Much love

I to have experienced this. at random moments from time to time. I have been able to cause them to happen when i hold my breath for some time. I don't know what they are either. But they seem to only apear when the our bodies own energy fluctuates. Perhaps they are creatures, or maybe just random energy hitting our retna's at certain times.
But you are not alone! :)
