Galactic Fireflies

Galactic shooting stars flying in my garden, creating quaint patterns of light art in the air. Aglow with shimmers of zeal, glimmers of passion; luring their lovely mates with flickering flare. Some in enticing clusters like galaxies of stars, swirling and twirling around me in merriment. Uplifting my spirit after a long day's spar, these tiny fireflies relieves my all worriment. 09/17/2016 Note : Entered in two different contests. (1) Word Play Galactic - *Placed Fourth* (2) Old or New poem 10 line max - *Placed Tenth*
