Oh yes, in the dark of night~ just like the fireflies flashing against a sky of black with final elusive sparks that celebrate life's end ~ will illuminate my soul and still my heart, as death's adventure lifts me to the stars. Fireflies glow, then they rise to die and procreate. My soul is reborn to meet new life at Heaven's Gate- and waiting there- my eternal fate.
