Stumbling in forest paths
And I found you...
This glowing little firefly -
"No doubt a little lost at what surrounds you, little buddy?
But if you may just hear me out
Though you may find it funny,
How's about we partner up
To search for any exit oh so sunny?
And in the meantime you can glow around me.
Cast a light around my cries
That soon surrounds me
And accentuates what's left of the profound me."
"Please, oh please... little guy.
Light me up and show me what I'm worth
So that I may recall this glimmer
When I stagger 'pon this earth.
And warm my insecurities to slowing simmers
Melting off like cocoons to display a hidden purity -
That ghost so inner..."
"Oh your buzz is so illuminating
Casting effervescent glows cascading off the air and unto me
That emphasizes all the me I could entrust the bittersweet horizons to...
You know... that bison mixed in with the blue
From skies that shine away all my redunancy
Yet still leave threats of all those thunderstorms no fun to see...
Show me, little guy... all the ways I may rely on just my heart
To shield me from the rain...
Tell me, please, it's possible
To save myself...
Before I turn to those conclusions oft-ly dealt."
It's funny how I put such faith
Into my smiles and frowns
When I'm the one who holds the best record to date
Of those who've let me down...
