Like Fireflies


Thought-provoking sparks 


of brilliance, like fireflies, 


wink out in the ordinary 

 

 getting ready for work, 

    

   for an outing, 

      

     washing the dishes

        

        shopping for groceries


These brilliant sparks


      become fragments


        puffs of cloud 


           devoid of time, pen and paper


  floating away on the winds of


    responsibility or distraction 


Will they return?


   Maybe ~ and maybe not


Or like fire flies, 


   when lights are low

 

when it is time for sleep


   new ones will come.”


“I’ve reached the moment where the movement of my thought 

interests me more than the thought itself.

~ Pablo Picasso
