Fireflies
Like little specs of happiness
Fluttering around at night,
I've never thought of them as pests,
Their light gives me hope and might.
Their bioluminescence
And their all around magic
Gives the summer air such essence
Where nothing is ever tragic,
As I stare outward at you
I stare inward at me.
Yes, when it's just us two
I'm filled with such glee.
Oh you certainly are the epitome
Of summer and the ultimate
Sign that freedom has been given to me
With your bottoms all lit.
Let's take a journey
Through the speckled night,
Speckled with summer
And the beautiful lamp light.
It'll be so wonderfull
To observe these tiny gifts
Which make nothing dull
Andy my spirit one always lifts.
My ardent attraction to the small beings
Is no surprise to some who see
More than most are normally seeing
When without the essential key.
