Flight of the Fireflies

Flight of the Fireflies

I crawled out my window
The stars calling me
Climbing down the tree
Creeping to the meadow
~
Laying on my back
Breathing sweet heather
I felt a tiny smack
As light as a feather
~
My cheek was aflame
With cool cool fire
The fireflies' game
Dreams to inspire
~
They wheeled and dashed
Higher and higher
Around me magic crashed
Inflaming my desire
~
To roam the skies
on the back of wishes
To dance with the fireflies
Like a child's wishes
