Fireflies
Delicate, beautiful thing. Just watching you flit around the room brings tears to my eyes. My heart sings, and I can’t help but dance with you. I wrap my fingers into a cup, and catch you playfully. A kiss, my nose against yours, the sound of breathing. An intimacy missing from every other moment of my life. I want to hold onto you, just for a little while longer. I dreamt of you, and longed for you, and have missed you since the day I was born. I love you completely.
I love you so much, that I weep for you, captured by my fingers. I feel the beating of wings, and flashing of bright lights against the palm of my hand. I open my fingers slowly, opening a space for your escape. For a moment, you rest softly in my cup. I thrill with delight that perhaps you will stay in the harbor I offer you.
Suddenly, fireflies. All around me. I have to smile at the sight of your true beauty. I am still grinning as you flicker out of sight.

Is your picture of fireflies copyrighted? I liked it a lot and wanted to see if I could use it on a church webpage
Thank you!!
