The Fireflies

Flashing spots in the new moon night
Solitary wonders the flying dot lines
Do they go to a common destination?
Left behind a lasting contemplation

Flashing spots in the pensive eyes
Even their lives last for a single night
Bravely move through the darkness
Spend a short lifetime of happiness

Flashing spots move on and away
Obey the natural law of self-journey 
To fight to survive with opportunity
Like a strong faith of Man’s fragility?

Flashing spots head to be vanished
The flying dots will be soon finished
What really defines the value of life?
Can hope ever flashing in dim nights?
