In the twilight’s gentle glow, they take flight,

Paper lanterns dancing with pure delight.

Their colors are vibrant, painted with dreams,

Carrying wishes on ethereal streams.

Crafted with care, a labor of love,

Folded with hope, blessed from above.

Each crease holds a tale, a story untold,

Whispering secrets of the heart, so bold.

On a moonlit eve, they light up the skies,

Guiding lost souls and weary eyes.

Silent messengers, floating on air,

Carrying dreams to places so fair.

Their flickering glow, a comforting sight,

Bringing solace to the darkest of night.

A beacon of hope, a symbol of peace,

As troubles and worries find sweet release.

From festivals to celebrations grand,

To mark the borders of a distant land,

They illuminate paths, both near and far,

Connecting souls, no matter where they are.

Paper lanterns, gentle companions up high,

Painted wishes, ascending the sky.

May they inspire and fill hearts with cheer,

Spreading love and joy year after year.
