A Quiet Evening Poem by Isadora Quagmire

A Quiet Evening

Rating: 5.0

The long sore day now gently fades,
The cool river calls, as evening shades.
With family, I splash and play,
Washing the world's fatigue away.


Then fireflies we see—tiny sparks,
We catch their flickers in the dark.
Such simple joy, so glad and true,
We feel this evening, through and through.

Absolutely lovely poem! As a child I was thinking if I could fly like the firefly lighting my way in the darkness.I did not know I would be caught by your pen one day!
