I flied free
until you caught me
in your mason jar…
My light restrained to
your compact glass world.
I fluttered against the
walls you kept me within…
Imprisoned alone
and nakedly observed.

So relatable. I am appalled by the honesty in the poem. The enjambment has another magical trick to play in the poem. So damn honoured to be reading this. ‘ nakedly observed’ just wonderful. Peace and greetings π

This firefly is on fire….the beauty & the pain….but surely this firefly can’t be contained….this firefly lives in the heart, that’s the real domain
“Imprisoned alone & nakedly observed”….what an amazing expression to show the vulnerability….
Love, hugs & kisses….β€οΈπ€π….I’m sanitized with the Spirit…though I can still inflict the pain
