Standing quietly at the top of the rise
Mist hanging softly above the meadow below
My eyes adjusting to the darkness
Small flashes of light catching them
Here and there
A gentle flicker
Then another
And another
More and more
Looking down seeing
So like a small city
Sped up on a loop
Flashing faster and faster
Sinking down into the grass
Sitting and watching
Fireflies dancing
Twirling, swirling
Mixing, mingling
Mating
Life renewing


******Thank you Gryphyn for the inspiration for this piece..may the fireflies always grace your summer nights as you spend it with TG**********
