Fireflies Flying on Sky

    I fly in sky of fireflies 
    when crescent 
    pretty descent 
    Moon is about to rise.
    Sparkling glistening glow warms :
    Intermittent
    magnificent 
   warm glow bringing calm charms .

     That occurs while in dream.
     but at dawn break
     as I awake
     to face facts, I scream.
     Real life is a challenge 
     Path is rough.
    Steps are tough 
    Too difficult to manage.

    I fly in sky of fireflies 
    being happy 
    while sleepy,
    awaking watching lies.
    Sky of fireflies flashing ambition
    so bright 
    at night.
   Day break bringing no expectation.
