A poem about a beautiful summer night.

Dancing with the Fireflies

It’s a warm summer night. The stars are shining bright above. The moon casts a silvery glow upon the ground. The grass is damp beneath my bare feet.Fireflies are dancing around me.

I hear the chirping of the crickets, the croak of the frogs and the owl’s hoot. Their nighttime chorus is singing to me, a tune that I feel within my soul. Their music falls upon my ears, their voices are singing in harmony, a beautiful sound that lifts my spirit and fills my heart with joy.

 

My soul embraces the beautiful melodic sounds of the night. I begin to dance to this melody of nature, the song is beautiful, its rhythm unique.

 

I spread my arms as if they were wings and I turn myself in circles, taking in the beauty before me. A smile is upon my face. Lights are flashing around me. I’m dancing with the fireflies!
