Firefly protection

Fireflies talk to her when I can’t
They remind her of how special she really is when I have no words left to speak
So she watches this sporadic light show all in smiles
She is sheltered here in my arms and this open sky-field of night
Her simple happiness kisses me gently
We giggle like children filling our ears so full, so full
She is happy here
She is safe
Fireflies come near, oh so near
They have captured her and I, her and I
We shut our eyes from behind this very moon
We are safe here holding on, firefly protection
Alfalfa’s countryside aroma hugs our bonded friendship
So as I open my eyes I see yours are dreaming away, drifting away
Or were they fireflies touching my own
