- 12:35 am
hold this close to you and be strong, cos i know you are.
the firefly
in darkest deepest coldest night
they ran a path towards a light
to realise twas no light at all
but a firefly perched on the wall
its red brick burnt and charred yet still
from humanities dearth and loss of will
in face of peril still it glowed
its stood there bright resolve unbowed
what hope was found was lost withal
till a voice came forth, its clarion call
children stay awhile and fear me not
was never ill intentioned what love begot
what fate deals out we must receive
and beg not now for just reprieve
just run on steadfast in the night
yet always keep this hope in sight
that burden borne is what was earned
every fall is a lesson learned
but stand up right and keep love strong
and hold your tears back with my song
i hold your hearts within my light
tis that that makes my hope so bright
keep your faith and so set free
they who might not stumble 'pon me
they ran on now with hope renewed
to breaking dawn and leaves now dewed
to warm crimson flows, serendipity
lives now free from antipathy
and as it flew away
into the night sky
they silently loved
the firefly
fin
hit the stars
