I found her at the base of trees,
on the sunny side along a breeze
at the end of sunsets golden time
this playful firebug flew beside
then landed on these time worn hands
pulsing and so bright,
fearlessly she rested
and in my palms remained alight
She's made of air and I of earth
and yet together we were merged
and in this silent, sacred place
we slipped the chains of time and space
Her light sank right into my skin
filling up these veins
as under Luna's influence
we talked about the rain
we'd weathered many growling storms
and I said as she was going
it is not your glow that I love so
it's that you are still glowing.
I'll light a candle for you firebug
every anniversary
of the moon blessed and enchanted night
you came to visit me
your light sank deep into my skin
my fearless bright explorer
the sky without your playful light
feels once more like a corner
oh my little firebug
you flew so near and lit
a light so strong and pretty
what am I without it?

This is about a love I recently had to let go, I fell in love with my best friend and my muse, but it seems that I might have destroyed the friendship.
