Twilight

Twilight

Twilight now upon me
Dusk is in my eyes
Sunset now behind me
I see the fireflies

They flicker and retreat
They light the lonely hillside
They buzz all around me
Their light is in my eyes

Croaking frogs, chirping crickets
Their music in my ears
Fireflies illuminate the thicket
A symphony worthy of my years

Twilight now upon me
I lie down in the grass
Night falls softly all around me
The day now fully passed

The night sky hovers above me
The symphony softens afar
I close my eyes to sleep
To live among the stars
