Firefly

The world I yearn for is not the one I wake up to.

It is the light I long for that I work for,

The buzz of brightness, a spark per second, per thought, per memory as it floats away.

The world I yearn for is not the one I wake up to.

It’s my heart that I renew every waking moment,

My expectations, my dreams, my actions, my plans…they flee from me when I am distracted, and so like a firefly I keep my eyes on them, chasing them.
