firefly friends… (from a child)

fireflies

in my glass jar

you do not `luminate

for me no more.

,

we’ve been friends

of the lonely night

you speckled the dark

with wondrous light

,

I kept you safe

in my glass jar

from the lonely night

So I may wish

upon tiny stars

,

fireflies

my little stars

why won’t you `luminate

for your friend no more.

    • I’m not sure if this poem is about small child’s experience with death, or the necessity of air holes at the top of a jar. :s
