Flying Sources
Fireflies generate unpredictable light at will
Filling their corners of night
With heaven’s golden bright surprises
He that made these carriers of wisdom
Hath blessed them with pure blindness
For they know not where the dark leadeth
Only know they
The every-so-often duty
Of lighting up the hearts and heads
Of those who can appreciate
The simply unexpected glow
Of enlightenment
John Christopher
1990
