Fireflies in the Garden
Glowing dots dance at dusk,
Between leaves, a silent trust.
Tiny lanterns, softly lit,
In the garden, they flit.
Amidst shadows, they weave tales,
Under moonlight, their glow prevails.
Not a sound from their flight,
Just flickers in the night.
Each a spark of fleeting light,
In their dance, my worries take flight.
In darkness, they carve hope,
A nocturnal kaleidoscope.
