Fireflies Poem by Gita Ashok
Fireflies
Fireflies amidst tall trees
silently chase away darkness
on a cloudy moonless night.
A flash here,
a sparkle there.
Too fast to pinpoint
where they are.
Tirelessly through the night,
they dazzle everywhere.
Let there be a
million fireflies
to illuminate
the darkness of our minds
in our lives’ voyage indeterminate.

Today evening when I was driving by the country side, I happened to notice these fireflies moving fast by a bush on the sides of a lake. I just wondered a second and forgot completely.The wordings 'Too fast to pinpoint where they are' is just absolute. A very keen observation. The Poem goes a step further and ends on a beautiful note saying 'Let there be a million fireflies to illuminate the darkness of our minds'. Simple things also make a lot of sense. Isn't it?

This poem is like a rose-brief yet beautiful! The last lines flashes the real philosophy [Let there be a..million fireflies to illuminate the darkness of our minds...in our lives’ voyage indeterminate.] In the journey of our life we meet joys and sorrows, sunshine and shadows but can chase away the blues, like fireflies do with darkness.10+++
