Summer's Night

Another summer's night
looking around
seeing fire flies in the sky.
Bugs a biting my legs,
as I sit here in darkness.

It is not totally dark
as there is a reddish glow
from the likes of GE and the city.
Shinning so bright, offering some hope
In a night so dark and bug ridden.

There is almost a mystic sparkel
to the night world around me.
Where the lightening flashes
in the distance and my mind starts to wander.

It is not a quiet country night
with spring peepers in the distance
and mesquitos buzzing in my ear
and the whine of cars riding
deeper into the country.

So here I am
all alone
in darkness just trying
to explain it all
with little luck except
for being eaten alive.
