Fireflies

There was a small stream near my house in my hometown. At dark nights, almost only the sound of the stream audible... and also several fireflies glowing in the air. Now that stream is no more, and the soft light of those fireflies are replaced by neon lamps. I always missed those fireflies, my friends, wondering if they fly somewhere far away. I've got to know a certain firefly... no, more like a fairy that glows in the dark like Tinkerbell. The firefly's soft light is calming people's heart in the dark nights, in loneliness. An old samurai in Samurai Champloo said fireflies are glowing to attract its mate. And I think my special firefly is not only attract its soulmate, or lover or whatever, but my firefly also attracts the lonely soul. The same soul as my firefly. But now my firefly is not alone. A lot of friends come... and I hope those are indeed a good friend for my firefly...
