Lightning Bug

Through lilies of white
just at dusk,
dance little bulbs of
light in synchronous fashion.

And this is where dreams
do haunt with a passionate
cruelty.

Little synaptic flashes
much like that of angry
static charges from a raging
storm somewhere deep
within a tortured soul.

A lightning bug
caught within the mind,
trapped in the eye
that forever sees into the night.

Laura, your poem has such an uncanny twist... I have so enjoyed watching lightning bugs, as a child and now as an adult... but you've given it another perspective, of entrapment and passion and torment... you've made the usual unusual.

The rage of the lightning bug is well-written. Enjoyed.
