Today's Ethical ELA prompt asked us
to recall a moment in nature
when something wondrous happened.
Fireflies
"I remember watching fireflies
With her," she mused,
Sitting in front of her house, running after them.
My eyes welled, memories with her,
Watching butterflies, dragonflies, and fireflies,
Dancing in the moonlight in the big backyard,
Celebrating life at the Falls,
Sipping camping "medicine" around the campfire.
As we settled into a rhythm,
Chairs rocking ever so slowly
On the porch, on a warm summer night,
So many years later, I shared memories,
As they, on cue,
Put on the best show.
Rising gently, but with determination
A swarm of fireflies
Grateful for a warm night, an audience,
Celebrated family, summer nights, memories.
