The Fireflies Light

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
