Fireflies and Fairies

While camping out one summer night,
we watched the fireflies alight
above, below and round about
one summer night, while camping out.

Like fairies dancing in the dark,
and sprinkling sparkles through the park,
two twinkled by, as if romancing
in the dark like fairies dancing.

With fireflies confined in jars,
we jumped into our parents’ cars.
I wondered if a fairy dies
confined in jars with fireflies.

I store these treasured memories
of summer nights and fantasies
in jars of dreams expressly for
these treasured memories I store.

was:
I treasure all those memories
of summer nights and fantasies,
of simple moments filled with pleasure--
all those memories, I treasure.

was: we watch as fireflies flash light*

Forgiveness is the fragrance
the violet sheds
on the heel
that has crushed it.
