Fireflies

Find yourself in the fields...

Eyes downcast

I wander from the fields.

Grass and earth

�"Still damp from the morning’s quenching-

Ooze between bare feet and penetrate every crevice between the toes,

But I do not notice as my mind wanders farther still:

Over the flat fields of waving corn, tiny towns and shapeless forests.

Finding only broken limits and infinite flight:

Past the open path through which I trod

Past the present to where shadows still play:

The ruse of memories guiding me away…

But at that moment all thoughts align:

The light that bubbles up from green blades

Awakens me from the ground.

I step into this new world

Leaving all those careless thoughts behind

As the tiny twinkling lights illuminate the grass

Soft between my feet as I catch sight of you now.

I’ve opened my eyes today:

Falling into the sea of luminescent orbs

Crawling up the trees and vines

Showing me the soft angles of your face

As you step gingerly down the path

Smiling.

Though these perfect moments seem fleeting,

I know that only now we glimpse eternity.

So come live with me in this reality.

Come join me in this dream.

To live forever in your presence

Transmutes existence like the fireflies’ dance.
