Fireflies danced between the trees, their bioluminescent flashes like fairy lights strung through the branches, creating a mesmerizing light show as if joining the moon in its effort to illuminate the dark night.
The scent of earth and night-blooming flowers hung heavy in the air.
As the clouds moved, revealing the moon once more, its silvery moonbeams once again pierced the canopy, illuminating the luxurious room.

His oil-covered c0ck glistened in the silvery light, each vein and ridge accentuated by the sheen.
