Chasing the Light
Published:
Walking down one empty lonely lane,
Smiling up at that desolate lovely dame,
Who in all her pride and glamour,
Glimmers from above oh magical stunner,
Alone yet queen of heavens above,
Make mine the moon forever I vow.
But in that dark and lonely lane,
Lies just misery and none to gain,
The glimmer above sometimes adds light,
Helps relieve and keep up that weary fight,
Or so I think as I walk in the dark,
Always that lane as gloomy do I mark.
Through shadows of trees the fireflies' glint,
Blinking at me but alas they are so faint,
I smile at one ah the gorgeous creature,
Flies to me but seems too miniature,
Yet those giant trees sway in delight,
Adorned in jewels those fireflies' light.
The chill of night the strong winds bring,
The leaves around a happy tune they sing,
The lissom fields of paddy all dance along,
Puppets of wind they swing to its song,
Amused by all I begin to ponder in the darkness of night,
Is it only the paddy that swings with the wind's might.
