Fireflies and stars are but one

Dr. Abe V. Rotor

Starry night at Mt Everest (Wikipedia)

In a dark night look at the sky. The stars
Are living gems, they’re a thousand eyes;
They soothe the soul, heal wounds into scars –
They come down to mingle with fireflies.

Fireflies and stars in the night are one,
Like flowers and bees basking in the sun.

Short is the life of man; he is but a living dust,
But many great things come to pass.
Someday you shall learn from the sages,
In a world where man through the ages
Craves for glory, yet finds emptiness;
Go light a candle and sigh in gladness.

Fireflies and stars in the night are one,
Like flowers and bees basking in the sun.
