flies across night sky
burning its bum
Triggering a light
enough for
invisible particles
enough for
invisible particles
Following its flight
is a real life fantasy
and indeed fun.

Footnote:
I had a wonderful time watching the fireflies during my stay in
Thandikudi - a village on the Palani or Kodai Hills, last month. We spent a whole
evening and night without power but had fun time with cousins and cool weather
for comfort, we saw the fireflies flashing around us. I couldn’t remember when I
saw the fireflies early but this time was memorable, having them closer, I wonder
how much wondrous we miss by using spotlights everywhere hiding the magic that happens
in darkness.
We tried to catch them, but they are on their ways across valleys and
ridges, and following them is impossible. So we stayed away admiring the beauty blink in
darkness.

I love fireflies...that magically light up the sky on hot summer evenings. They're one of my favorite things about summer.
Brilliant! Was taken back in time to my childhood when watching fireflies was a fascination.
nice poem...
great memorable experience...
thanks for sharing...
Wonderful photo:) Greetings
I have never seen a firefly in the dark, Jeevan. Don't you have any of their pictures taken in the night?

Destination Infinity - No rajesh. I also don’t think I could capture them unless there are plenty flying around.
I remember seeing fireflies in our ancestral village in Himachal. Now, I think I get to see a few in summers in Mohali, but I do not feel as crazy for them now :-)
When I was a child we always tried to catch fireflies. Now, like you, I just admire the way they light up the darkness.
Hi Jeevan, Great photo. We call them "Lightning Bugs" in this area of the USA.... We have them ---lots of them, and I remember the years when my sons caught many of them and put them in a jar...
Hugs,
Betsy
As a kid it was delight to see them in the night. No w I do not get to see them.
I really want to see the fireflies now!!! So so pretty, they look.
