Stars or Fireflies Fibonacci Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Hiya Sharma

2nd place in the contest

- Funeral of Fireflies -

As
stars
flashing.
Fluttering
across dewy grass.
Outstanding mesmerizing glow.

In melancholy, my eyes drawn into the circle ...
they are called to dance in their search for a bride/groom, stitched together with gold strands of hope.

If fireflies could sing it would be magical - a declaration of love, crafted with the same delicacy as a romantic poem.

I'll stay awhile and enjoy the view, take a deep breath understand that the days are numbered, as life wisdom or philosophical acceptance - with joy, dignity, calmness, solemnity pride, honor, and self-esteem ... beauty.
