One summer’s night, on the way home <br />Tired and sleepy our thoughts did roam <br />It was purely by chance <br />We got to witness a Firefly Dance <br />The field was all filled with the twinkling light <br />Of a thousand lightning bugs in flight <br />The meadow was aglow <br />With this fairy-tale show <br />We could not stop gazing <br />At this panorama so amazing <br />So on the following night, <br />We returned to view the same sight. <br />To visit this scene of magic <br />Who would believe it would be tragic. <br />The field was mowed and plowed under <br />Destroying that pageant of wonder <br />But I’m glad we had one chance <br />To see fireflies dance!<br /><br />Nancy Chambers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/firefly-dance/
