Fireflies In Your Hair

Watching the sunset fall,
Awaiting the tranquility of the night
Your eager gaze
Watched them gently come, Into sight
They twinkle once, they twinkle twice
Specks of light before your very eyes
Like falling stars, they glow so bright
Beating their wings as they slowly take flight
A curious little one leaves the rest
It lands in your hair,
An unexpected little guest
The little traveler got tangled in the strands,
Before you rescued it, with your hands
The little creature twitches with fright
You steady it on your fingers, and let it take flight
Slowly, it joins the rest of its friends
And higher up into the sky, they ascend
