Firefly Nights, watching the glow flash in the dusk
Bottle up the moment, it’s your last summer here
Masking the fear of the future, we listen to the bugs zoom in the steamy night air.
The heat of the day faded as the moonlight hits the tree line.
I still think of you on those warm summer nights when the fireflies come out
and moon keeps watch.
I love the simplicity in this piece. You’ve managed to give us that profound depth in just a few lines. Wonderful write!
