Midsummer Wish

Hundreds of tiny lights were glittering over the lawn!  As I gently sipped the red wine while sitting in one of the rocking chairs on the spacious front porch, I knew they were fireflies that, like me, were trying to find their way through the balmy midsummer evening.

A live band was playing in the backyard-- entertaining the partying crowd over there but the sound was gentle enough for my eardrum to handle.  I was alone but didn’t mind the seclusion.

Gazing across the road, I noticed that there were actually thousands of fireflies around-- swarming and sparkling over the lush soybean field!

I could only wish you were here!  We could've enjoyed that beautiful sunset together... that lovely vista as the old, red family barn gleamed in the rays of the setting sun, casting sharp shadow on the little vineyard and its adjacent cornfield.

Oceans away, continents apart...  I couldn’t stop thinking about you.
