~ I Dreamt Of Fireflies ~
I dreamt of fireflies last night
I felt happy just to be
Awash in magic, faerie light
Such a lovely sight to see
I'm sure I dream in color now
For they shone yellow, like the sun
Flitting to and fro -- oh wow
I loved them, everyone
Flying pixies, lanterns glowing
Each one, a wish fulfilled
Part of me, aware and knowing
They'd only stay until
Slumber's hold grew weak and frail
Enchantment, lost to day
When the night begins to pale
Sweet faeries cannot stay
Within a realm, but for a time
Where ruled cabbages and kings
Entertained by my own mind
I, too, had faerie wings ::
