Fireflies

if you and i
were both fireflies
singing to the choir 
light up the night
put us in a jar 
by the bedside
naturally we'd be
a bright night light
you and i
would dance in time
to the flickering beat
of our tail lights
the glow serene 
a wonderful sight
if you and i
were both fireflies

Mike, this is a fav for me. So unusual. It could be an old classic.
