fireflys

i miss how you flew landing on my hand
glowing in the dark surrounded by others
twinkling ever much
i would catch you in a jar and release you after making a wish hoping you glow when it came true
i love the joy as a child asking why do you glow
even in darkness you light up.
was it finding a mate to belong to or was it just for food but for me in my child like mind
you were star that learn how to fly
landings on kids to make their wish come true
with tiny wings each to carry you off to someone or somewhere in need of you
i miss the glow and hope my wish i made on your light comes true.
