As Thoughts Do Wander

Wander, my thoughts of beauty…

Amid the gloaming,
fireflies upon the lake do cast reflections
of beauteous lights,
trails of blinking golden dreams,
as if fairy lanterns aglow,
flight in joyous end of day,
shimmering in the calm waters
as sun bids farewell in glorious refraction,
and in the silence of fading light,
my heart imbibes this pleasured sight.

While willows bend to caress the still waters,
fronds like fingers gentle, tender,
as fireflies dance,
mingle within those weeping fronds,
and light flickers like fireworks upon the bows,
the lake like a shiny penny,
given breath under light a plenty,
as orange fades into night,
horizon drawing in those last remaining shards,
as the dark twinkling cover resounds in silent awe.

Darkness fills the air,
a chill, a mere second gone that warmth,
as diamond skies fill a mind with wonder,
and even clouds escape to slumber’s call,
so clear that crisp echo of time,
surrounded by a billion years,
an infinite tear of heaven’s troth,
forever change and growth in life,
as night takes hold
and thoughts in play do wander.
