Dance of the Fireflies
by
Gaynor Lewis
Fire flies dance inside the flames,
Darkness sets the day.
The fire glows bright,
It absorbs the night,
Chasing all fears away.
Then pixies emerge from their secrets,
Towards you they make their way.
From evil places,
With sinful faces,
They start to dance and play.
You rush to hide away from them
So you’re able to view
Without a sound
They dance around
The fire, in front of you.
You move, the noise it startles them,
Oh no that was unwise.
They disappear
Now all that’s here
Are the fireflies.
Fireflies dance inside the flames,
Lightness dawns the day.
Fire absorbs the night
The sun glows bright
And the fireflies fly away.

MOTIVATION:
"Enchanted by the magic of nature and of life, my thoughts come together to merge the inspiration and my imagination. These magical places take me away from my everyday life and offer a welcome relief that also intrigues and captivates me to write and hold me longer in my fascination of the written word...
This piece is inspired by the fireflies and other insects that are drawn into campfire lights and dance almost hand-in-hand with the accompanying shadows, which could be mistaken and observed as mischevious pixies in their mysterious shapes and forms."
