Flight of the Firefly

It's rained all afternoon
my feet hurt and my mind is numb
the sun bid its farewell too soon
"Look for the new sunrise to come"
but time is change
and i feel deranged
trying to solve my way out of dementia
it sometimes feels like life in absentia
when the ones you love the most
are memories and ghosts
... it can get overhwelming

just then i see, in the corner of my eye
the most majestic firefly
and i realise, standing there drenched and alone,
watching this graceful creature in mid-flight
that no matter how bleak the darkness of the night
she always finds her way home.

For my Firefly. Everything's gonna be alright. JR.
