Two Fireflys and a White Moth
Something prolific pulled me from my bed
It dragged me through the battered door
and land me on the main road
I wasn't dreaming or sleep walking
I wasn't having an outer body experience
I was literally walking on the road after midnight
I thought I was asleep but I was wide awake
struggling to get a nap for that's all I've got
As I ventured outdoors midnight came alive
And the devils start driving upon and down Lee road on London town
My heart was beating and my temperature suddenly increased
With my flashlight in front of me and the holy spirit guiding me
I disappeared into the dark because I felt something calling me
I walked down the main road to appease my tired soul
And kept wondering what I have with these legend of old
I wander off into the dark into the bushy park
And sat on a rock near the stream in the dark
and stared at the water in front of me
I drowned out the sound of the Devil's truck
that was roaming up and down the town
And at last I was able to focus on my internal sound
I listened to the water gushing from the rocks
And whisper a silent prayer to my invisible master
A strange feeling came over me and I couldn't pray
I left that spot and sat on the overpass bridge
I felt a troubling feeling within so I stared blindly in the dark
and one green tree near the bridge stared back at me
and I was reminded that God was with me
The stars were barely visible
and the crescent moon buried itself beneath the anxious sky
none of the planet was discernible from obnoxious earth
Just the blue and white clouds forcing its light in the dark
My curiosity got bigger and bigger about the healthy green tree close to the bridge
I looked at it for a while and wondered why it appeared in-front of my big eyes
I continued on the track through the thick black night
on a familiar road that I have already known
The tranquil night breathe its breath upon me
and suddenly the cantankerous and murmuring trees
that have been ridiculing me starts loving me
The still dark night with its fruity smell embraces me
and sends out a sweet aroma perfuming the atmosphere
and something profound came in contact with me
in the dark on the side of the road
a bright little light glanced at me
telling me that the Savior was protecting me
I shone my flash to get a better view of it
And I saw a dainty firefly wriggling in the bush
I smiled at it and hurried along the track
and another firefly illuminate it's lights on me further along the track
Again I bend down and looked at it curled up in the grass
There was no light around except for the
little beam glowing from my flashlight
And with much delight a white moth sprang out of the dark
and land on my shoulder then it flew away
Everything happen so quickly in a very strange way
I can still remember one late evening when I reached that same spot
A deer appeared from no where and suddenly disappeared
And so it was
Two fireflys and a little white moth elevates me to the hill top.
