Fireflies

there is a maddening silence where

the music aches to fly,

get tangled in my thoughts

infused into my logic

caressing creativity

ricocheting off of consciousness

like lightening bugs playfully illuminating

an otherwise stark landscape.

I won't catch them in a jar,

I like them small and darting about, chasing each other,

bumping into every place my mind wanders.
