Firefly Poem by Arvie Calimlim

Firefly

Rating: 5.0


I was searching for the moon one night
I was searching for some light
But then there was nothing bright
There was no moon or star in sight

I walked and walked through the town
My heart still in a frown
I wanted to see a circus clown
That I might feel upside down

I just went on and reached the park
And the night was deep and dark
The birds won’t sing, the dogs won’t bark
Yet something made its mark

I saw a firefly, small but bright
It was alone in the dark night
It came near me, thought it would bite
But it just sat and made me feel alright

It flew around my hand
It flew around the ground
I thought that I should stand
And follow it around

It brought me into places
I never thought I’d see
We ran and played races
Until we reached a tree

The tree was at the top of the hill
It stood strong and still
Then I started to feel
The firefly was becoming ill

And as soon as it lost its light
The sun came shining up so bright
A tear came running down my face
And though it’s gone, something stays

I have always kept in mind
In the dark you’ll always find
Some light or someone kind
Coz if there’s hope, you’re never blind

*smile* dim...still..quiet laughters and amusements...the firefly..peaceful and bright in the cloak of the night...it never vanished at dawn...it was what completed a new kind of light...a glint in the eyes...a glow in the heart. Nice poem. Smile!
