The Firefly
- a Poem
- by Nirmal Sahu
The day hides its light through the clouds,
A gloomy mood, echoing melancholy sounds
The streets are empty, the sounds are few,
As I wander alone, my heart feels anew.
Fireflies dance in the twilight darkness
Their sparkling light, a path with boldness
Hope and despair walk along road hand in hand,
A delicate balance, with a fragile stand.
In shadows and gloaming where silence lies,
A spark of hope begins to rise with fireflies
Through darkened nights, I may find my way,
Eventually I’ll shine, move towards what may.
