The Fireflie's Flight

Paper lanterns lit   drift off in the night
fireflies twinkle  reflect in the pristine lake
Noah would have been proud  couples embrace
Never in doubt   this so called   human race

Under the maple with the trunk as my date
I look past the glitter, the sparkle, the fake
Up to the stars where my forefathers told
Stories of angels where Heaven unfolds

Where is my angel, oh where can she be
Up in the mountains where temperature's low
Or down in the valley where daisies do grow 
The one by the sea who's trapped in her tower
Or next to the butterfly and her delicate flower

I stare for a minute then search deep inside
For answers or meaning on this one ticket ride 
Out in the vastness    I feel her right there
Looking out too   for a heart she can share

As with the lanterns and the fireflies' light
Love will come shining when the timing is right

...but will it stick around? Finding love is not the problem. The problem is keeping it, nurturing it, growing it. I think we become so selfish with love, we choke it to death. I love the poem, Tim. Very well written:)
