FIREFLYING

 

Through dusk’s shadows they soar,

flickering evening lights,

flies flashing cold fire,

bugs unleashing lightning,

micro-luminescent,

miniscule miracles.

 

Though fainter than candles,

clustered firefly flocks

flash brighter than stars

in summer night skies,

sparking joyous wonder,

fluttering till sunrise.

 

In our darkened world,

can we shine like them,

glimmering in the gloom,

gifting goodness and hope

for all those who grieve

until a new dawn?
