Dear friend
who has lost your spark
and all you see is darkness
before you
behind you
and all around you
who has felt abandoned
whose friends seem
so far away
and out of sight
remember you are a firefly
your light will come and soon
you will see your friends all around
in bursts of living color
amidst a world of shadows
to remind you that they are there by your side
and to remind you that you are not named after the darkness
but after freedom light
that ignites the night
catches fire to the darkness
until it burns away
so hold on
and wait for the light to come.
for it always comes, my firefly friend
