Bethany Moore

The Cicada and the Firefly Bethany Moore

Lovers sometimes take strange forms. This is a story about a brilliant and creative man who weaved in and out of my life for more than 16 years until his life ended unexpectedly and tragically. In early 2016, he was hit by a car while crossing the street. He was a complex man who wrestled with great demons while having the ear of angels. Our love was similarly complicated, and spread across many years and dimensions. These poems and prose are an intimate insight through the eyes of my heart into the soulmate relationship shared by me and the late Benjamin Johnson.
