what i see outside my window

the frogs are singing tonight, especially loud and vivacious. they live in the swampy area outside my window and sometimes i see their neighbors, the fireflies, drifting around the air above them, as if they are party lights. they blink lazily back and forth, saying hello or goodbye or i love you. and i just watch.


when the sky is well-lit by the moon, i am also out there, among the trees. i sit on the tops of the swaying branches and wait.

i hear them singing..

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
