Literary Crumbs: Poems & Short Stories to Savor by D. Ryan Lafferty

(For those of you who dare to shine)

Oh lightning bug, you firefly;
beacon in a darkened sky.

Your lantern sparks, then fades and dims,
a luminescence from within. 

A constant burning deep inside,
your glow attracting every eye.

You dare to shine while others hide.
Oh lightning bug, you firefly.
