Holiness in a Tennessee Dim Dusk in a Hollow Grove

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

The light of life glows, coolness, and is light

Within the firefly, life within its tail.

This little greenness flashes in the night.

The air around the flashing flight can sail

Though lacking warmness nearly.  Each pulsed gleam

Eschews the boredom of a sexy heat,

Though sex is what each wishes.  Evening’s dream

Avoids mere boring truth.  More like a green sleet

In levitation floats this beauty of

The seeking, roaming for romance.  Desire

Drifts everywhere though dim in twilight love.

Desire it seems defies the need for fire.

  Don’t bother with explaining facts.  The need

    Is all that matters, signalling life’s one creed.
