Fireflies and Sunrise

Dew drops in the dawn

Cricket choirs overhead

The stars so neatly drawn

Above an earthly kind of bed

 

The birds will sing softly

As they dip and soar, alive!

Hearts beating like soft wings

Waiting for the sun to arrive

 

Blinking lights below sunrise

Take breath away, so honestly

I’d never seen fireflies

Until you pointed them out to me

Blanketed by the tickling fog

Excited by the breeze

Surrounded by the comfort

Of the sweet tranquility of trees

 

Head back in awe

Gazing at the vast sky

Eyes wide with laughter

Who knows what comes

In twilights after

When you’re not afraid to die

 

To learn to live in the moments

That are bright like imagery

To hang off every word transpired

By brown eyed chivalry

 

For once to be distracted

To truly be at peace

I allow myself to be surrounded

By the safety of your trees
