Fireflies are the stars
Of the troposphere
And although they appear
And disappear
They are fixed
In our hearts
Provide the same
Glimmer of hope
Something that we can
Wish upon
On summer nights
We use them to navigate
In our own way
Sail or fly
To destinations
Near and far
In our dreams
After the day is done
These flickering candles
These warm bugs
In our backyards

Where is a troposphere?
Where is a troposphere?
I like Warm bugs, but not sure if you can call fireflies in one poem stars and candles.
I wish I could change their name from flies to fliers.
"fire fliers" would be right
"fire fliers" would be right on :). the troposphere is the lowest level of atmosphere. i thought of how stars are so far away, in a distant "atmosphere", but fireflies are in an "earthly sky", so to speak. they are the "close stars." though of course they're not stars at all. thanks for the read and comments.
