The Firefly

I was there...

     on a cold night

When a firefly

     suddenly caught my sight.

I jumped and ran to catch it

But I just can't even touch it.

I was --

     sick and tired.

I wanted to give up...

     to surrender

          and go back home.

Just then, I sat...

Thinking...

     while the firefly

          continues to fly and glow.

It gave me an immense spirit --

To follow life's flow and see the world.

A firefly, suddenly ...

Is not what I really wanted.

I want to be like the firefly --

I want it's light...

     the glow of the firefly --

I want it's glow

     to glow in my heart

So I could pass the glow into

someone's cold heart.
