Before Letting Go

If only I had wings,

I'd strain to reach

The top of the box;

The edge of the world, 

Where the stars are all stuck

To the dark, cold ceiling.

I'd chase all the fireflies

As high as they tease me from,

Just to feel their warm glow

In the palm of my hand

Before letting go.
