As The Fireflies Dance

As The Fireflies Dance

A Poem by Richie Stevens
"

I have never seen fireflies before, but I wrote this poem as if I had seen these beautiful insects in the night. I imagine they are as beautiful as I have written. Poem written in 2020 by me.

"
As the fireflies dance
I'm sat in the wood
My tent warming up
Watching them, all is good

They dance in harmony
Glowing their lights
Perfectly pretty
In all their delights

I don't feel alone
As I watch them float
But on watching them
There's space in my love boat

We could sail together
Just like those fireflies
Seeing the world together
Through each others eyes

I'm content to share for now
As I'm healing old wounds
But my boat will not sail
With you my heart swoons

So as the fireflies dance
My boat's on the river
And I sit in my tent
Warming up from the shiver

Watching them dance
Twinkling away with each other
Waiting for you
You precious little lover
