A pack of wild dogs
an everlasting hunt
Flee, but can't escape
so why even run?

A firefly illuminates the forest
guides my way
to a clearing deep within.

The dogs and the hunt
disappear in her light
there is nothing

around us
and our clearing.

Eventually the light is gone
the dogs return
the hunt's back on
No hope of lasting peace
no illusion of meaning

Why do I run
from the dogs in my forest?

Only because
I know I'll have
at least one more moment

at our clearing
in your light.
