Beacons Of The Night lyrics

Beacons of the night

Flashing about, fluttering

As they fly and hover

In a quest to mate

They break the darkness

Its periodic abysmal hold

Giving a perceptive depth

To an obscurring pall

A comforting being

Phenomena of childhood

The mystery of the light

Glowing, a pulsing pathway

Risking many hazards

Mimicking and awaiting

The unweary venturer

A guilding light unknowly

Nature's ways are harsh

Yet full of magnificance

In simplicity, and complexity

All in life is wonderous

This coded beacon signaling

The lightning bug, the firefly

A beetle gregarious, seraphic

Beloved concilator of man
