FIREFLY
Mystique is held by the hand of darkness tonight
Perishing shadows lay hidden in wait
Poor anguished souls who scream out loud in pain
Until they see a firefly in flight
Carrying a beacon so bright that the whole world will recognise
For lovers to discover their half
A secret hidden deep in solitary passages
Where lost love waits with whimsical heart in guise
A whisper in the dark.....is that love calling my name
Opening a pathway where all shall be divine
Someone stands waiting at the end of the tunnel
A stranger who in me will reflect upon the same
I close my eyes and the firefly lifts me from deepest despair
Convinces a stranger can be the one
Without voice and not having laid eyes upon
Being introduced with a certain knowing stare
Love's flame licks the brow of passion and delight
Burning a shaft of hope in this emptiness I have held
Lifting the blanket of caution and uncertainty of life
Can we really believe in love at first sight?
