The Final Firefly

Here’s a great little poem by author Mitch Teemley.  If you haven’t checked out his site, your missing something good. 

I saw a lone firefly last night

Dear creature, why didn’t you turn to the right

when you came to August?

there’s something that only you can see

something so sweetly surpassingly bright

that all else fades

in its perfect Light?
