not put out midst heavy rains ---

Fly, little lightning bug
Flurry in marsh and field
Flash your flame at twilight
Flirt in the dark of night
Find yourself a new mate
Fascinating glowworm
Flourish in great numbers...

Silver moon wandering as enlightened one
Glowworm flaunting as moons scion
twinkling stars garnished dark sky
tinkling cicada added music to rye
serene night pacifies ones spleen
routine sleep wants to this dark sheen.....

FIREFLY

      Luciferin in
      abdomen of a firefly
      reacting with air
      forming warm glow of glowworm.
       Firefly without any fire.

while
she's a larva for you
soft beetle
wingless abdomen that emits light
to give birth to your flight...
