“Fireflies”

Every once in a while

Out of the blue

Something wanders onto your path

To delight you

That sudden jolt wakes you up

To surprise you

Like on those hot summer nights

Playing hide-in-seek with the neighbors

As you are running to hide

A firefly lands on you

Amazed by his glow

You stop dead in your tracks

If only for a moment

Before he flies away

Although you could never be sure

From where they come or why

To say hello or light our way

Yet always a nice surprise

When the night is filled with fireflies~
