When God Is a Firefly
Suddenly it seems so blurry
And universe seems so big
Walking alone is being lonely
Though I’ve done it for so long
The road is somewhat dancing
Affecting my sense of balance
Easily stunned by the flash of lightning
Missing another chance
Fighting without arms on my hands
Leading a path with no decision plans
Acting it weird, feeling so down
So unfamiliar with my own homeland
My dreams are deflating
No more energy to run the train
Slowing down until it stopped
I’m no machine to numb the pain
As falling leaf reach the ground
As it moves away with the wind
My dreams are fading into none
Grasping it hard as my doubts extend
As if nowhere to go now
When there’s so much road to take
Over ruled by fear and future failure
My creation now are made to be break
And though the world is breathing
Moving people on their loud heartbeat
Here it comes a half living zombie
Trailed its feet in a crowded street
As if alive but lost in a dead forest
Where there’s no life exists
Tormented skulls and cadavers on my feet
Painting of black where only blood is red
As soon as the night comes
The moon and dark creatures appear
Crickets singing their confusing chorus
Ghosts are somewhere out there
Counting each uncertain steps
Thinking life would to be end like this
But on spur of a magical moment,
A lucid firefly grant me a kiss
And as it moves away from me
Thousand others explode from a dead tree
Sudden smile was drawn on my face
As those fireflies lined to light my way
While others perched on tree’s fragile branches
My body stilled as I stunningly watches
As they create an alluring scenery of luminescence
I forgot that I’m lost in the middle of absence
And soon I walked along the firefly lane
Worries gradually grow faint and disappear
The moment was beautiful that I forgo the pain
For these specks of living lights gave me hope again
