Under the cover of darkness, where shadows creep,
Bugs are drawn by the light as if in sleep.
A glimmer of optimism in the darkness so deep,
Leading them towards a place to keep.
Like bugs seeking light in the darkest of night,
We, too, are drawn towards what seems right.
In moments of darkness, when all is lost,
We yearn for a glimmer, disregarding the cost.
Take the light as a lesson, a metaphor clear,
In escaping the dark, we yearn to persevere.
No matter how faint, no matter how far,
The light will guide us, like the North Star.
So when life feels heavy, when shadows loom large,
Recall the bugs and their innate charge.
Towards the light, they hastily go,
Teaching us to seek, to blossom, and to grow.
So, welcome the light in those times of despair,
For it is the guiding presence, always there.
Just like the bugs, we too can discover,
An escape route way to relax and uncover.
