English Poem| Firefly in my room........

Last night, as I lay sleepless,
In the summer dark
With a window open to invite a breeze,
Softly a firefly flew in
And circled round the room.

Twinkling at me from floor or wall
Or ceiling , never long in one place,
But lighting up little spaces....
A friendly presence, dispelling
The settled gloom of an unhappy day.

And after it had gone, I left
The window open, just in case
It should return.
