Fireflies so playful at dusk on this starless moonlight night
flickering, slowly edging beside, coming straight,
flying steadily flapping, wings circling, quietly buzzing beneath
into one's ears and eyes
Night dimly lit in darkness, light in a flash
quick, sudden as in a second, no time to adjust
only a mere fleeting glimpse just a glance
only a missing memory in our minds and hearts
Full of shadows, unburned torch
eyes felt heavy as a heart is torn
as black clouds over cast opened up
as raindrops escaped, tears began to drop
Over a shadowy ghost at the back,
of a temporary spirit finding its way out,
just to be covered by the steadily falling rain,
just to vanish like a shadow and never to be seen again...
As Dionne Warwick sings of the rain in whispers, as it happened yesterday, in a dream, in that pouring rain...
