Firefly Light

The porch was bright
I turned it off.
The darkness cloaked
the dog and I,
We climbed the hill
undaunted.
The welcoming light of the firefly
led us to the street.
It lifted my eye to see the sky
the match to the firefly.
What did I see?
No sparkling stars,
or was it Mercury?
Mars and stars
they led our way,
into the summer night.
