The Dance Of The Firefly


I see a bright light 
dancing like a firefly 
in a velvet night 

lost in her disco 
I feel an infinite sense 
of awe, all aglow  

she shines like a star  
in a Velutinous sky  
going, ... bye and bye 

it may be this or that  
the dance of the Firefly
simply out of sight  !  

I see a bright light 
leaping, aiming off to hide 
in a plush night sky.

I think fireflies are so delightful. When I was little my friend and I would try to catch one for a short time in a jar with poked holed foil on top, at our lake house, nature's light They are so much fun to see when they appear and disappear in the night. They delight me, as does your sweet poem. I enjoyed all your stanzas and the images they brought back to me. Hooray❤️

I used to love the disco years lol, the big spinning shiny balls and the music, that took us away with its beat. Nice memories Sara
