Devil to dance.

A devil to dance,
Fireflies scattered in view.
Feathers of ashes,
Let's start anew.

Time doesn't pass,
Yet behind bars,
It's good to know,
I'll miss you today,
Tomorrow,
With miles of heart.

And I think;
An early delay.

Usually I wake,
For my tears to break.

Lovely poem, John.
I especially loved the 'feathers of ashes' and the expression 'with miles of heart'. Thank you for sharing it.

Rhythmic, beautiful, sorrowful, fiery.

"I'll miss you today,
Tomorrow,
With miles of heart"

Wonderfully expressed!
