Dance of the Fireflies


When I would be frightened
In a darkened street
Losing my way
And fearing never reaching home

On treetops
and leaves and branches in between
And other spaces in the sky
Your dance of sparkles
Would touch my fright
And cast it away
And my eyes would join
Your dance
---------------------------------

Fireflies in the Garden

Here come real stars to fill the upper skies, 
And here on earth come emulating flies, 
That though they never equal stars in size, 
(And they were never really stars at heart) 
Achieve at times a very star-like start. 
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

Bhai,

Not surprising your eyes sparkled and danced in unison with fireflies. Who can resist the ballerinas in their tutus?

BTW Robert Frost got elevated a notch!
