Playfully dancing
Around this strange
light
Like a beacon it
shines
On this warm and
dark night.
Calling us close
From our summer
night flight
It’s beautiful
radiance
Fills all of our
sight
And its hypnotic
allure
We are unable to
fight.
Mindlessly circling
And not
understanding of why,
But endlessly around
The strange light we
all fly.
Transfixed by its
wonder
And a need to get
near
But not daring to do
so
Because it’s our
death we all fear.
But its pull is too
strong
On the weak minds,
and their will
This beautiful
strange light
Who’s only purpose
is to kill
So after many of
tries
By the weak and
unwise
With a zap and a
spark
It takes their short
lives
A Moth and a Beetle
Even a few fireflies
It saddens us all to
hear
Their last painful
cries
So cautiously we
circle
The light on the
wall
Until the dawn
finally comes
And releases us all
