Whispering Wings

[Verse]
In the shadow of the lantern's glow
A cricket hums where the rivers flow
Whispering secrets to the night

The cicada sings
Its fleeting cry
A fleeting love beneath the sky
A dance of life
A fleeting fight

[Chorus]
Oh
Insects hum in the summer air
A thousand voices everywhere
Their wings are whispers
Soft and shy
Fleeting moments before they die

[Verse 2]
A dragonfly glides on threads of gold
Through humid air
Through tales untold
Its flight
A brushstroke in the haze

The beetle crawls on bark so rough
Its tiny journey
Small yet tough
A quiet hero in its maze

[Bridge]
They know the art of living brief
No time for sorrow
No time for grief
Each buzzing note
A fleeting thread
A symphony of lives well-spread
