the fall of night
bestows upon me well earned
moments of quiet
garden awash in moonlight
fireflies waltz through tall grass

Waltzing fireflies sounds so magical. I remember when I first saw their dance, I was mesmerized at the light show. Beautiful poetry, Pat. 🙂

Thank you Olga. Fireflies has been in my head the last couple days. I don’t usually see them in my yard but this year I started a mini lilly pond in a barrel – like container and they started showing up. Love it.

Hi, Pat! I’ve missed you! I love this Tanka. I haven’t seen fireflies for years. I have a great visual in my mind from your words. ❤

Thank you, so nice to hear that. Life’s drama..layered, dampened inspiration. It seems to be easing up. Good to be back😊. I was just telling Olga, fireflies all over my garden lately. I went to put out the garbage last night and was smooched by one!! I caught him, said hello and let go 😁😁
