Jar Of Fireflies 🫙🦟

It is like a jar of starlight 

The jar of fireflies 

Upon my windowsill 

I watch them flutter 

I watch them flitter 

Do they dance 

Or do they thrash 

Do they know what I have done 

Trapped them 

Kept them 

And for what 

I cannot answer 

Amusement or appreciation 

Of beauty 

Or abject cruelty 

I cannot say 

But that which I know is true 

As I watch hypnotized 

Even mesmerized 

By the glow 

Of my fireflies 

Each day in darkness 

Each night in light 

The fireflies fly 

The fireflies dance 

They ebb 

They flow 

And keep me kept 

In my precious trance 

The curious faces 

Or are they jealous 

Nay concerned 

Passing by my open window 

Where I sit framed

In billowing satin 

They stop they pause 

They stand and gasp 

And then they quickly go 

For they see the jar 

Of death and decay 

Long dead they lie 

The fireflies 

But yet in my eyes reflected 

Is the flickering glow
