Fire Fly

Sparks of light ignite the sky
as I gaze upward to infinity,
A cool breeze glides gently across the floor
catching the tear that falls from my eye.
A memory arises bringing with it
feelings of joy, of happiness, and those of sadness.
Alone they cast light upon the world,
floating gently in the breeze.
Time stood still for that moment,
the moment they came together,
the one in which nothing else mattered,
their light shining brighter and bolder than ever before.
But only one second did it last,
for the fire fly's light is short.
Unknowing, the torch lit my inner torch,
tho it does not shine with visible light,
but with a light that is pure.
This light that the fire flies share
is but a way to show the world,
My eyes close as another tear falls to the ground.
Regret fills my mind.
Loneliness fills my heart.
I wish that I was like the fire fly,
Able to share my light as it does.
But words are my only expression,
my only way to tell you how I feel.
So I write this for you,
In hope that one day I will be able
to express to you what words cannot say.
