Season of the Firefly

The season of the firefly
Is such an awesome sight
The fields are filled with romance
And a thousand dancing lights

Their mating dance is fervent
And filled with great detail
Their lovers song is silent
Just the beacon in their tail

Their courtship is but a season
It only happens once a year
Their mating ritual, over
They suddenly disappear

But with the return of summer
The fireflies all take flight
The silent sounds of romance
Once again, will fill the night

The sure light up the night. Sort of a fly-by-night love affair.
