The stars' silent light
winking through the night
Fireflies moving stars
Soundless is their light
as are the best teachers
whose auras without words
grant gifts of insight
A Few Fireflies, Those Dragonflies, & A Hundred Butterflies
Forever beat up
Insouciant, without manners
Habitual feigning—
The first time I kissed a girl
I was ten feet off the ground
Stars swarming around my head
Like fireflies all around
Like little lights in the grass
The magic in the air
How I often after that I wished
That I could go back there
The next time I kissed a girl
Was marred by circumstance
I loved her; she wasn’t sure
She said I never had a chance
But I still hope to this day
To melt her heart of ice
I’ve never met someone who I care for more
And so I sacrifice
But the next time I kiss a girl
Will actually mean something
It will be my truest sign
Of all that I’m giving
That I will be there for her
That she will be my world
And nothing on this earth can stop me
From having her to hold
Zuruck im ihren flug
casting-schatten in der nacht
fly by-mit freude.
