The Funny Little Firefly

Tucked away behind the shadowy tree was a funny little firefly.

She thought no one could see her if she fluttered quietly by herself.

She did not seek a mate,

Nor did she seek a deadly fate,

She had no light patterns, no beauteous trait,

Except that of maintaining her lonely state.

But one day, she saw another firefly,

That flew in circles around her tree,

Her light went on and off and on,

She seemed happy, she seemed free.

Now this scared the funny little firefly,

She felt so pointless, like she could die

And no one would even know she did,

Because through her life, she only hid.

And so decided the funny little firefly,

That she would suck it up and suck it in,

And make her own light patterns and beats,

And fly up and about,
To deep and within.
