Liquid Spark © Poem by Roann Mendriq

A drop of light, a liquid spark
splashed upon the waiting dark;
It flitted here and fluttered there
alive and dancing in the air.

I crept to see what could it be,
perhaps it was a sign to me
to light the dark, to find my way
in shadows searching for a ray.

It beckoned me beneath the trees
I trembled in the cool night breeze;
and there it lingered on a leaf
gleaming like a true belief.

I laughed up at the midnight sky
and danced with that small firefly!
