Fireflies
Seasonal Elements
dedicated to “Fam” you are my lights
Water Buds burst into bloom. Brooks babble, grass grows, bees buzz. At last! Spring has sprung.

sparking, sparkling fireflies lending me their light precious friends and words they send to get me through the night screaming out these angry shouts with these unwanted tears searching eyes find shining lights that chase away my fears “we’re here,” they cry, and I believe in every word they say laughing lips and little bits of comfort in the fray here among the fireflies I know I’m safe and warm reaching hands ’mid sinking sands change feelings into form twinkling, blinking fireflies flashing gentle lights listening ears and loving peers and everything’s all right

Fire Warm, sweet, summer nights, fireflies and flames alike, spark, dance, and ignite. Earth Copper, crimson, gold. Kaleidoscope of burning, falling, foliage. Air Soft and silent drifts. Visible oxygen puffs. Warm toes in wool socks.
