Firefly Serenade As dusk descends and the world turns dim, Fireflies twinkle, a dance on a whim. Nature’s own lanterns, lighting the night, In their flickering ballet, the heart feels delight.

Each winking glow tells a story untold, A journey of magic, both tender and bold. In this serenade, where dreams intertwine, I’ll follow their path, their spark to define.
