The first time I saw a real firefly, in March 2012... it was at a surprising place...
Last night, as I lay sleepless
In the summer dark
With window open to invite a breeze,
Softly a firefly flew in
And circled round the room
Twinkling at me from floor or wall
Or ceiling, never long in one place
But lighting up little spaces...
A friendly presence, dispelling
The settled gloom of an unhappy day.
And after it had gone,
I leftThe window open,
just in case
It should return
