Oh, fleeting fireflies, glowing gems of night, elusive sparks that celebrate day's end, your mini fireworks rise before my eyes erupting out of nowhere in the dark like flashing souls against a sky of black. Like fireflies, I will glow in dark of night, a brilliant spark to celebrate the end, with bursting fireworks lighting up my soul, its luminescence, blinding still my heart, as death's adventure lifts me to the stars.
