A grasshopper jumps from the warm pavement
To a dry blade of grass
A lightning bug bursts into flame
After narrowly escaping the cage of a mason jar
The crickets' hum breaks the
Humid sound of silence
The creaking of the old porch swing
Beats in rhythm with the
Chirping, rustling, whispering
Sounds of twilight
The shifting of colors on the canvas of dusk
Compete with the rising and falling of rosy blush
On the lovers cheek
As a weightless crowd of moths
Dims the porch light
The summer heat forms a blanket of romance
The lovers move together for a soft evening kiss
As the crickets repeat the refrain of their calm serenade
And the fireflies flicker their lanterns
And the grasshopper settles in the leaves
Waiting for starlight
And cool crystal dew
