8:07 // a firefly poem



8:07 
by Firefly 


the sunlight 
it filters through the window
it dances across the bed 
it shines into my space
leaving a golden path across my hands. 
my hands are clicking
moving
writing 
typing 
and the golden light stays there upon their backs. 
now it's 8:09
and this moment is gone. 
but again 
tomorrow
as I sit here to write
the sun will rise
and this moment will happen again. 
at 8:07... 


Yeah, I know. Faith writing poetry – not the norm. But I've been strangely inspired to write some free verse lately... *shrugs*

      Awww , thank you so much, Eve! :D Hehe, I suppose it is. I've tried some haiku in the past, but free verse is working much better for me. ;)
