Firefly
"As twilight falls across the glen
Pinpoints of light rise again
Flashing beacons in the night
More begin to rise a beautiful sight
A symphony of light commences they start to dance
Lifted by silken wings and winds of chance
An ocean of yellow stars twinkling for all to see
Drifting free in perfect harmony
Children's laughter now fills the night
Dashing here and there catching all in sight
Decanters filled with living lights
Lightening in a jar candles of delight
Finally the spectacle is over and they rise into the night
Release the ones you have children let them continue their flight
They open their containers and out as one they fly
Into the night like starbursts in the sky
The glen is quiet the lights are gone
Don't worry children I say it won't be long
Rise again they will with their lights of song"
