Fireflies
May 30, 2013
Darkness falls in the glade
A bitter wind howls
The clouds threaten to downpour
The grass trembles in fear
The leaves waltz frantically with the violent wind
An abrupt hush settles through the meadow
The grasshoppers pause their melody
Miniature lights appear
Popping one by one
Until the entire glade is adorned with the comforting light
Darkness is no more
the merciless wind has ceased
Thanks to to the fireflies.
