Chasing those fireflies
Lights that flicker in the dark
Guiding you home
To the abyss
Faint lights fade
Deepening the darkness
Just a moment of majesty
Before the shadows creep again
To catch that illumination
For a moment
Or many moments in a jar
Cementing its fleetingness
Candles set to light
To be eventually extinguished
In the unrelenting storm
They thrive on
Fly freely
Into the night sky
Feel no tethers to the terra
That we find as our final bed
