The Firefly

Setting in the west, the sun quits its light-giving fight


And the firefly slowly, deliberately starts to awake


Her whole being eagerly flickers in anticipation


Hoping against hope for a pitch-black, dark night


Because this firefly knows that she knows for sure


That it’s only in all-engulfing, terrifying darkness


That her little light will shine the brightest bright
