Fireflies ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

In the shadows cast by sun’s ray fading
Enters shimmering lights on fluttering wings
A mystery they reveal, a secret they create
In twilight’s dawning they’ll absquatulate

In daylight they rest where wildflowers bloom
Come alive under crescent moon’s silvered lighting
They vanish like dreams, in silence they glide
Away from sunlight’s unfolding, they choose to hide

They glitter and dance into the night’s embrace
Like a whisper in this place enchanted
Fireflies unspoken tale like the realm of dreams
In twilight’s dawning they’ll absquatulate

  4. When I saw the clip with “Firelies,” I thought *this is super clever”, lies can sometimes feel like fire. But read the poem and title and realized it’s supposed to be “Fireflies.”

    It’s still a pretty awesome clip! It caught my attention! The poem did, too.
