Fire Flies

Fire Flies

Under the lovely

            full moon,

the fire begins to glow …

blazing

            up in crackling swirls.

The embers seem to glow

            and fly

around the surrounding area.

Most

            of the embers,

burn themselves out,

but one or two

            slip into the sky to

fly

and

fly.

The original “fire flies”,

            good luck pieces

of fire that,

when past a certain time,

            become alive

and seek out

a true soul

            who needs occasional

magical help.
