there you are
scampering about the open field
with thunderstorm overhead
with bottle in hand
trying to catch lightning
again
that first one caught way
way back when
now tucked away in the closet
next to a box of books
this time
the thunderstorm only threatens
no bolts to gather
just promises
nothing pierces the air
this time
I really like this. Terrific imagery.

Love the imagery! Yet, as I read it, I saw a young boy chasing lightning bugs in a field. Multiple story lines?
