Fireflies

Here is a little poem i wrote quite a while back. Im still reminded of it each time I see flickers in the evening sky.

Fireflies

The sun sets on another evening
As violent streaks of violet, blue and pink
paint the 'master's' canvas

Tick-tock...tick-tock..
Hark! Who spilt ink all over?
And the world is shrouded in darkness.

Ah! blessed fireflies..valiant souls
Attempting to light up an ominous sky
A moments glory, an instants fame;

And then they lie scattered..
Forgotten heroes of an ungrateful land
The moment passes.
