Firefly

Mandeep Kaur Heer

In the dark nights
Of life
To search light
Fireflies do not
Run pillar to post

For Fireflies
Themselves are
The source of light
Fireflies themselves
Are the host

Fireflies tell us
To settle every
Inner fight
Darkness will then
Board a flight

We will ourselves
Become shiny light
We will be no more weak
We will be might

End will then every
Woe,clamour and cry
We will become
A glittering firefly.
