Anthem of the Fireflies

The fireflies gather in the darkness of night,
Oblivious to the sleeping world
A chorus which sings lyrics so bright
That beauty itself comes unfurled

Such marvelous creatures, such wonderful beings!
What glorious music they show!
I think for a moment that life is not fleeting,
That time, just a bit, opts to slow.

I envy these souls and their excellent flight --
how their song ends with perfect refrain
And I hope that some day I might find my own light
To sing of my existence the same.

I've never been great at reading poems, and this was no exception. But the words were really beautiful man.

Hey guys, did you know that a poem of mine was actually published in an annual compilation made by my college? Yeah, it's great that what is totally not my cheesiest writing thing ever was put into a book with my name. It's also fantastic that said work is definitely not about a girl I had a crush on in eighth grade. Ahaha. Ha.

A maiden sits across the floor
The sole proprietor of my heart.
To her I ought to speak
But a conversation, I cannot start.
For timid am I, a bachelor of few words.
Should I blunder, what might she think?
She might view me a rotten curd
Or perhaps she'd think me a fink!
Someday this fear, it might subside,
Confident would be my approach.
Perhaps she'd love me, become my bride.
All from my heart, I'd require no coach.
But even if I remain so weak willed
and do not approach her, I'll admire her still.

It's like a constant fedora of the past looming over me, waiting to be noticed. At least m'lady was hot I guess.
