Firefly
I am a foolish firefly
Falling in love with the feeling of being burnt alive by your aura
I kneel in prostration
Below your feet
To collect mere shells from your ocean of infinite wisdom
And soon, I began drifting like a piece of straw in a current of flowing streams
Floating through the waves of time and space
Bending and breaking to your divine will
My ego shatters in my desire to reach you
I set ablaze my lust for worldly desire
Seeking to escape this abyss of material degradation
In your name and through your ways
I am reborn as the coolness in your eyes
Amidst the heights of sublime spiritual serendipity
