We Own the Night

They are invisible during the day. But at night...
Sometimes they move as one. Roving above
They dip to a point just above you
You try to grasp us and fail
Transfixed, you follow them through the shadows
The child in you wondering how
The light in their tail guides you
Look daddy! What is that?
That, honey, is a firefly
It flies through the city lighting even  the darkest streets
No one knows where they go at sunrise
Will they ever burn out?
