The Dance of the Fireflies
The fireflies dance in the summer night,
A symphony of light that takes flight,
A magical display that fills the air,
A moment of wonder that we all share.
The flicker of wings, the glow of a spark,
A dance that illuminates the dark,
A rhythm that ebbs and flows with grace,
A sight that time cannot erase.
The fireflies weave through the trees,
A dance that's carried on the breeze,
A sparkling trail that lights the way,
A guiding beacon that leads astray.
Their light is soft, their glow serene,
A beauty that's rarely ever seen,
A moment that's pure and free of strife,
A wonder that brings new life.
The dance of the fireflies is fleeting,
A moment that's both brief and fleeting,
But in that moment, we are free,
To dance and dream and simply be.
So let us bask in the light they bring,
And let our hearts take flight and sing,
For in the dance of the fireflies,
We find a joy that never dies.
