The Fireflies and the Stars



   How similar they are,

the firefly and the star
Both give us light
from here or from afar.
How much like the storyteller are
none seek fame,
but all give light.
And how silly a thing:
to give in a world of take
But the beacons of light care not
it is after all,
their duty to answer the call,
and give light to this dark and greedy world
“In hope that one day,”
All three say.
“Our light will be outshone
by the One who created this Stone
that we call Earth.”
