Firefly Glow

Green glow in the darkness, small light in the night.

A small silent North Star buzzes past all summer night.

I am suddenly a-shining right where I stand.

I catch a soft green glow, right in the palm of my hand.

Away goes the small light, to catch up with the stars.

I see a flash of darkness coming to this light.

Run to the green glow!
The night’s official song.

I see a dance of happiness, deep inside the glow.

Lights go out quickly. I do not see my friends.

I must wait until the next night, to shine once again.

And when darkness falls upon me,

and nighttime is clear.

It’s green glow in the darkness,

small light once again.
