Fireflies amidst tall trees
silently chase away darkness
on a cloudy moonless night.

A flash here,
a sparkle there.
Too fast to pinpoint
where they are.
Tirelessly through the night,
they dazzle everywhere.

Let there be a
million fireflies
to illuminate
the darkness of our minds
in our lives’ voyage indeterminate.
