NEW YORK at NIGHT/ Vivienne Gucwa
THANK YOU, Tess..at Magpie Tales
FIREFLY
In a silver drizzle
we seem the same.
Some mistake me
for a Mayfly.
Here today, cliche' tomorrow.
Well, no,
my wings are not yet
curled in prayer,
in a plea
for one more dawn,
half my life in supplication,
the rest in fancy.
I'm a Firefly, after all,
invisible at sunrise,
but a delight
in the nightfall garden.
I'm here in the dew,
there in the rose,
and suddenly
setting fire
to that distant heart.
Caught in a jar,
set out on the grass,
I will light the way,
become part of the parade
to a galaxy unknown.
