then sit by the firelight
and bask in the glow.
Form your own words
of glass and sand and
tempered phrase. Raise
your hands to a burning
moon; all these words are
embers waiting, going
somewhere soon.
Watch them rise,
fireflies
with star-warmed wings.

Oh I love those words you raise like fireflies- they truly shines
I love the imagery and rhymes in this, De, especially:
‘Watch them rise,
fireflies
with star-warmed wings’.
“fireflies with star-warmed wings”…. sigh.. I wish I had written this!💞
To me, this is an incantation. Entrancing imagery that melt into each other like flames.
“then sit by the firelight
and bask in the glow”
– ah, I would love that anytime.
You’ve warmed my heart with this one, De.
