Dance of the Fireflies

Inspired by fireflies & other insects who are drawn into the campfire lights & dance almost hand-in-hand with the accompanying shadows...

Fireflies dance inside the flames,
Darkness sets the day.
The fire glows bright,
It absorbs the night,
Chasing all fears away.

Then pixies emerge from their secrets,
Towards you they make their way.
From evil places,
With sinful faces,

They start to dance and play.

 

You rush to hide away from them

So you’re able to view

Without a sound

They dance around

The fire, in front of you.

 

You move, the noise it startles them,

Oh no that was unwise.

They disappear

Now all that’s here

Are the fireflies.

 

Fireflies dance inside the flames,

Lightness dawns the day.

Fire absorbs the night

The sun glows bright

And the fireflies fly away.
