Fireflies
Fireflies face extinction due to habitat loss, light pollution and
pesticides. What have they done to deserve such callous fate?
"No man is an island"
A saying by the English author John Donne
Fireflies
Born underneath enigmatic expanding skies
Cuddled by a Blue Planet of emerald and ice.
Like a serpentine river of gems silently arise
Gliding on gossamer wings evoking surprise.
Sparkling rubies wove in the curtain of night
Bathed in darkness in sheer ethereal delight.
Solemnly await the inevitable ultimate flight
Towards soothing rays of love's healing light!
