In the hush of night, they softly gleam,
Tiny lanterns in the velvet sky,
Whispering secrets in a silent dream,
Their glow a gentle, fleeting sigh.

Among the leaves, they weave and twirl,
A dance of stars upon the earth,
In shadowed woods, their light unfurls,
A testament to nature’s mirth.

Each flicker tells a story old,
Of summer nights and whispered breeze,
Their luminescence, brave and bold,
A beacon through the swaying trees.

So let us pause and watch them shine,
These fireflies in the midnight symphony,
For in their glow, we may define,
A simple, pure tranquility.
