Fireflies Amina Schnebelt ‘21
One by one the Switch flicks on, And one by one the shadows fade. Higher and higher the little lights fly, Floating and drifting into the sky.
Their invisible prison melts away, As they turn to me and seem to say Goodbye, Farewell, until another day.
But once they are hidden away from sight, The Gloom returns to retaliate. It hunts and races and chases me,
And so I run, Toward the Sun, But am swallowed before I get there.
