fireflies wish-i-may

you were the firefly that took me to that hidden field of lights
i was washed away with the beauty and overwhelmed with the elegance of the night
a thousand fireflies dancing with each other to the music the night spelled out

your love swirled across my soul and took hold of me
you danced me into a fine frenzy until gravity was flipped right side up
i couldn't focus my eyes to anything but your brilliance

a carousel holds a beauty to a child like a baby holds a wonder to a mother
right now you were my prince in my made-believe child's play
you lead the way to the castle in the clouds, i still get to make up how our story ends

a starlight captures a child's wish-i-may wish-i-might
like your artistry allured my creativity's delight
paint me a new picture that my imagination could never dream of

for now i will grab hold of your heart
as long as you keep my toes warm from reality's warmth
and we dance into the night sky's poem written just for this moment

so all is right for this nursery rhyme
batter your eyelashes and turn on her night light
and the universe smiles and the applause fades to silent dreams
