Fireflies821

Conrad Stafford 1971 (North Carolina)

Free verse
Lighting up the night sky
sparkling diamonds
fire and ice and water
desires of the heart
weaken the soul
distances apart
the heart glows with love
time stops and in that moment
I escape once more
night skies
quarter moon glowing fiery orange
white owl staring down on me
the smell of roses
casting stones upon the water
shattering the surface with ripples
youthful energy abounds
sorcerer's castle
reflections of time....
crystal images
the great dragon rises with fire
bleeding hearts free the spirit within
