When nightfall cascades through the trees To drift across soft grassland's breeze; This moment comes when fireflies seize A time for peace, the time for peace ~ When lure of wings can make one freeze. Inducing wonder with graced ease, They twirl on air like varnished fleas Enchanting sky through boughs and bees. Now dream in a wheeze, in a wheeze~ As nature's gifts bring heady sprees! 8.29.2016 Monorhyme Mania for John Hamilton

I think the only thing more beautiful than this poem, would be to be with someone, seeing this and both sharing the magic of the moment!
