About fireflies.

Dancing lights at twilight

Winged lanterns of the night

Twinkling stars on earth’s domain

Glowing drops of meteors rain

Gleaming gems of ebony grass

Shimmering pieces of broken glass

Glistening beads on black velvet

Zigzagging stiches of lambent thread

Blinking in and out of sight

Bearers of golden light.
