On the breezes to sink and rise,
Flutters scented bird of paradise,
In the days of mauve butterflies,
They captivate all waiting eyes!
Bittersweet in fate, days go by,
Under the dreaming summer skies,
'Til evening finds beauty's prize,
Now dancing with the fireflies!
Muggy summer nights
All around, fireflies laughing
while watching the stars
The moon is restless
roaming in and out of clouds-
Intermittent stars
Motions above and below
through eternal sleepless night
Shunning saffron days
night owls and fireflies revel
to nightingale's song
Wide awake blooms gaze at moon-
......
Sultry evening surprise,
the starry sky of fireflies!
Pink, shining, full moon
on rosy, Dragonfly Lagoon.
Lofty fireflies are winking,
as gold time is blinking.
Ash silhouetted clouds,
partially veil fleet crowds,
that glow emerald green,
until so suddenly unseen.
......
Today is my friend’s birthday.
Torrents of texts and messages, mundane wishes
Heaped on her like abandoned placards after an election rally.
What shall I wish her, a hundred others haven’t?.
May your days be green with a healthy sheen
Like leaves on the tree by the flowing waters
Exhaling life with every breath, in silence,
Not out of demand but of innate goodness.

Fascinating flight
glowing green in pearl moonlight
of red rose rapture
Indolent June moon, treasured
and shrouded by starry night
Fireflies of summer
Come and go, mysterious
at indigo night
just past the purple sunset
