When the Firefly Is Gone

Saša Milivojev - WHEN THE FIREFLY IS GONE



The tide shies away from the sand

Under the dark clouds

Someone is waiting  

The lyre is calling for it

To fly down and shine

Fiery wires

Weave soft sentences

The water is still now

It’s turned to oil

The light speck has gone away

The lyre has fallen silent

And the shore remains deserted

Forever
