Just for tonight
I will be a firefly:
I will dance among trees
To the humming chorus
Of frogs and cicadas.
Just for tonight
The moon sits in bliss
As I flicker and glitter
And frolic in mid-air
Casting random neon patterns
Amid grass and flowers here and there.
- John Emmanuel T. Manalo, 2010

I wrote this in December 2010, just when I realized I had writer's block.
