Heartbroken by death, a young sloth discovers the magic of memories, friendship, and life.
Lost in the blackness of a moonless eve
Darkness envelops; hope scattering on a breeze
But in the midst of heartache, a peace spills into the soul
Memories of past loved ones take control
They glow, flit, and dance with delight
Surrounding the lost in a brilliant light -
A multitude of fireflies pulsing in their fractal rhythm, ne'er alone
Chasing the darkness and guiding the way home
Cicadas burst forth in a musical majestic chorus
Their songs ricocheting off the trees throughout the forest
