Comrades of the stars, Us the Fireflies....

0.
Fireflies, We.
We are comrades of the stars,
 yes, yes,
we are...
Unbelievable, We.
Come, Come, Hear
Our story...

1.
The dark God,
With eyes like
 a beautiful ocean 
twinkling, sparkling in
wondrous glee....
lived beyond space,
beyond time, beyond this
starry night....

2.
Stars were his playthings, 
Fools call stars big,
they were but tiny sparks 
for him, he made his Diwali
creating a few,
changing the symmetry 
of a few...

3.
He came, He came
to visit this abode of men 
Listening to their science,
he laughed..
People told him about the 
size of stars...
He who played with them
like a child plays with crackers...

4.
So, on a Diwali Day,
He did some Abracadabra display,
We, Fireflies were born,
'You are Stars on Earth', He lovingly
whispered to each one of us...

5.
From that day on
 whenever the dark God whispers
the same phrase, 
We are born for the magnificent display,
for his love....

6.
We are the comrades 
of those fireflies in the sky,
they are not huge,
just like us they are
little and beautiful,
and dazzling and lovely...
What if their name is different,
they are stars and we, the fireflies!!
