Like Fireflies, Are We

A fiery light glows
amidst the blackened eclipse
Starry skies cloud dark
as heavy waters quench natures thirst.
Bioluminescence,
the night light of nature
shines alone.
Vexing to the blinded
Comforting to the sighted
The lucent beetle floats aimlessly
longing to fill unknown needs
cast aside and cursed along the way
unaffected, it draws nearer
until it crosses it's destined path
frozen by intrigue
the likeness doesn't mirror
only compliments
Now two glow together
Brighter
Luminating the others darkness
Revealing that darkness existed
Before they met
