fire fly

you make the night glow
even when the stars
are blocked by the clouds
and they
try to extinguish you
with the fog

you illuminate
the sad heart
and
give tidings
of the morning to come

when i cannot see
past the darkness of the night
you are the reminder
of hope and wonder
in a world that extinguishes both

fire fly
you are the mystery of the night
and the flicker of hope
for mornings fresh with dew
and new life
