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?
