Summer Lights

Endless delight
                        as songs of
timeless joy
wing their way
into
     our open minds
    Let's get up and dance
and the dance 
  will lead us to freedom
    songs will show us
the way
Moths are attracted 
    to light
We're attracted to sounds, lights,
and the promise of a better day
We'll flutter like a moth
     around a lightbulb
    lightly cutting through
the torrid atmosphere
           seeking peace
on this mid - summer evening
before drifting off 
to dreamland
Notice the fireflies
         glowing in our garden
