to my husband…
Can you be my firefly?
Casting light upon my path
The sweet hum of your wings
Whispering so soft and warmly
“Fly away, let go, be free and sing”
To the light, from the shadows
Rising from depths vacant of hallow
Shivering from cold in this wretched place
I see you, your light, and begin my chase
Can you be my firefly?
Reveal to me the forgotten lesson to forgive and forget
With newfound fortitude, I shall deny regret
And as I follow you, I see the world through your eyes
You’ve given me the light and never wavered by my side
We’ve woven our way through varying gradations
Softening a soul now tinged with rosy elation
With words as sweet and tantalizing as honeysuckle wine
I shall not fear any snake nor wriggling vine
For you have garnered hope and faith
Granting me knowledge, wisdom, and grace
“Fear no twist, no turn, no deviance from that once etched line
Our bodies will never be halted, as together we reign a striking shine
Let the hum of my wings be sweet, lyrical nectar to your core
Illuminating our destiny and deepest harmony
I will always be your firefly for forever and ever more”
