Firefly Stars

(2009)

Raging, flashing twinkling in the deep purple cast of the moon 
She silently sweeps across the the winding path lined with fresh spring roses 
Weaving in and out of the the luminating lamp posts 
Tears like a a water fall tearing across her face 
Twirling and spinning, dancing through the field as she did as a little girl 
Trying to remember what it was like before this 
As she lies beneath the cover of a grand oak, she thinks back to the days past 
She wanted to be there for him so badly 
Looking to the skies, changing from a plumy purple to a brilliant blue 
She feels pains of being shut out of his whole existance 
Like a captured butterfly yearning for the sweet taste of the gloden dew on the soft pink petals of a rose 
Her eyes got heavy as she lay beneath the comforting diamond shaped leaves 
She dreamt a different land where the clouds are tuffs off sweet cotton candy 
And the waters are as clear as glass 
Far away from the cruelty of mankind and the loneliness of the world 
In her place, you were not bound to the materialistics of Earth 
When she awoke, she saw crystal like raindrops tumbling down from above 
She looked up expecting smokey gray clouds but instead there was a sky as blue as a robins egg 
Leaping to her feet, she swayed in the endless rain 
Suddenly she was swiftly lifted up, up through the air, 
Out away from the Earth, where she danced among the glistening stars 
She was swept through the infinate abyss before her 
Chasing comets and catching the spakling stars as if they were fireflies 
Was this a dream? Or a dream within a dream? 
She thought of these things as she gently glided down, back to the real world 
She felt the soft touch of the long, green grass as she ran her finger though it 
She closed her eyes and felt a warm touch grace her cheek 
Her eyes fluttered open to see him standing there 
He held her and she felt the earth stop 
As she stood there in his arms, she knew he cared 
She looked up and saw that his eyes were as blue as the sky during the cloudless rain 
And they twinkled and sparkled like the firefly stars 
Tears of joy trinkled down her cheeks, glinting from the fair sun rising in the east
