Oh, I love it. It says so much in those few lines/words, and like all the best haiku leads the reader's mind on beyond those lines/words.

I think in my childhood I must have caught hundreds and hundreds of
Fireflies in Mason jars ~~~ you have brought those memories back!
Thank you.

I read another comment you wrote of "coming home." I hope all went well and that you revived many pleasant memories of your butterfly.

I love this on so much, Gillena. It takes me places... it reminds me of the things I have let go of, and of the ways we change as we grow. And the image of the dusty jar lingers...

Lovely. I don't think I ever caught a butterfly but I did catch a lot of fireflies.

So swiftly things change and grow. But memories still remain.
