Firefly

by Megan on May 2, 2010

A little something I wrote today. I was listening to Trespassers William’s Love You More, and it inspired me to write a little bit.

I caught a firefly upon my lip,
And as it danced and lit up
My skin,
I recalled childhood memories,
And fell to the grassy floors
Beneath me,
Pushing the bug into the sky,
And watching it light up the world
While I breathed.

I love the imagery I get when reading your poem!

I love your poetry. I used to write poetry, before I wrote rap. I suppose, rap is a form of poetry, isn’t it? :)
