Lightning bugs

There was a time when I believed

That lightning bugs could cause decease

That if one landed on your hand

That was the end and you were dead

Cause someone I trusted

Told me so

And of course I did not know

If it was true or just for show

And on I went still thinking that

A lightning bug could cause my death

Until at last I saw a light

A tear in the darkness of the night

The beauty of the creature hit

Then of course I realized it

Was all a lie and that the light

Is just an emblem of the night.

X X X

Was I the only one who thought that?
