The Firefly and The Sun King


Under a most enhancing and glorious sunset moon,
Where night creatures creep in their silent cadence,
I realize I've flown my way back too soon,
Viewing your golden opulence, your magnificence,
Your exquisite radiance

O' Night of wonderment, night of the meaningful promise,
I am but a firefly in flight across your cotton candy sky


Make me new! Make me youthful!
The cool promise of my birth,
Take me home to where I wish to be,
And with your golden beams upon my wings,
Show me moonglow, that essence of my worth

Let me feel this cool serenity . . .

Sun King, master of all that rises in the east,
All guided by your warm being,

( those of us hidden in the shallows of the wood, )

Take me adrift across your turquoise skies,
To your eventful days end, beyond all I am fleeing,

I'd wish to be safely home hidden in the shadows of night's,
Holy promise . . .

If only I could.

Listen, Mo, Blondey and Teasing, I really do appreciate your warmth and voluminous airs. Your kind words. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on this piece.

Now that I've come about knowing all of you a bit more I can only say that I'm so very lucky to exist among you.

My warmth always. I am here, :heart: ( With Heart. )

But a firefly! Beautiful... a firefly glowing in the night, so insignificant, with a harvest moon rising in the evening sky,,,,

Last week I watched the sun give way to the harvest moon with such appreciation and felt the cool evening breeze crest my body as I sat gently rocking in the glider. So when I read your poem I was able to relate from within myself. I appreciate you sharing.

I imagined you sitting outside there in Ireland shaping words to describe what you were experiencing. Well done!
